Enterprise Tower Server
The Dell PowerEdge T440 is a 5U tower server designed for virtualization, database hosting and business-critical applications. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 5120 processors, each running at 2.2GHz with a 3.2GHz turbo frequency and fourteen cores. The system includes 16GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across sixteen DIMM slots. A Dell PERC H730P 2GB storage controller provides RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 support.
Suits Virtualization Hosts Not High-Density Racks
This server suits organizations deploying VMware ESXi, Hyper-V or Proxmox VE on a tower platform with room for sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drives. Buyers who need a factory-ready rackmount chassis without a conversion kit should look elsewhere. Teams requiring more than two installed processors cannot expand beyond the dual-socket limit. Sites without space for a 5U tower form factor will need a different enclosure.
Sixteen 2.5-Inch Drive Bays Define Capacity
The single specification that decides fit is the sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays paired with the H730P controller. This combination sets the maximum number of SAS or SATA drives the server can hold internally. Buyers planning larger direct-attached arrays must add external enclosures. The 5U height and tower orientation also determine whether the unit fits the intended location.

Questions about this item
How loud and hot does the 5U tower get when the dual Xeon Gold 5120 CPUs and 2x 750 Watt PSUs run continuously?
The 5U chassis uses redundant hot-plug 750 W platinum supplies and front-to-rear airflow across 16 drive bays; fan speed scales with CPU load and inlet temperature.
Which drive trays and cables must I already have to populate the 16 hot-swap 2.5" bays served by the PERC H730P controller?
Four 2.5-inch trays are included; the remaining twelve bays need matching Dell 13G trays and SAS/SATA cables compatible with the H730P 12 Gb/s backplane.
Will my existing DDR4-2400 ECC RDIMMs work alongside the two installed 8 GB modules in the 16-slot memory array?
Yes — the server accepts DDR4-2400 ECC Registered DIMMs up to 1 TB total; populate open slots in matched pairs per CPU for best performance.
