Enterprise 5U Tower Server

The Dell PowerEdge T440 is a 5U tower server built for virtualization, database hosting, and file storage workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4116 processors, each providing 12 cores at 2.1 GHz with a 3.0 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 64 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across four modules. It is designed for businesses needing scalable compute in a tower form factor with optional rack conversion.

HBA330 Storage Controller Limits

Storage is managed by the Dell PERC HBA330 controller, a 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA host bus adapter without RAID functionality. The chassis provides sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays that accept SAS, SATA, and SSD media. Because the HBA330 presents drives directly to the operating system, software RAID or a separate RAID controller is required for hardware redundancy. Buyers who need integrated hardware RAID must source a different PERC card.

Dual Processor Scalability Ceiling

The LGA 3647 socket platform supports a maximum of two processors, and both sockets are already populated in this configuration. There is no capacity to add a third CPU, so compute expansion is limited to memory and storage upgrades. The sixteen DIMM slots allow growth up to 1 TB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. This server suits buyers whose peak workload fits within dual 12-core Xeon Silver processors.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 12-core Silver 4116 at 2.1GHz or a different CPU for this T440?

The T440 ships with two Silver 4116 processors, each 12 cores at 2.1GHz with 3.0GHz turbo. The socket is LGA 3647 and the board supports a maximum of two CPUs, so this is the top dual-processor configuration for this model.

What does 64GB DDR4-2400 ECC registered mean for my workloads?

You get four 16GB DDR4-2400 ECC registered DIMMs installed across 16 slots, leaving room to grow to 1TB. ECC protects data integrity for virtualization, databases, and business-critical apps.

What does the HBA330 12Gb/s SAS/SATA controller cap in practice?

The PERC HBA330 provides 12Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity to the 16 front 2.5-inch hot-swap bays. It operates in HBA mode without RAID, so drive throughput is limited by the SAS/SATA link and the installed drives.
