Processor and memory configuration
The Dell PowerEdge T440 is a 5U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 5218 processors running at 2.3 GHz with a 3.9 GHz turbo frequency. Each CPU provides 16 cores, delivering 32 cores total, and the system includes 128 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across four 32 GB modules. It ships with a PERC H330 storage controller and eight 2.5-inch drive trays.
Virtualization and storage capacity focus
This server suits organisations building virtualisation hosts, database platforms or software-defined storage clusters that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a 5U form factor. The sixteen DIMM slots support up to 1 TB of DDR4, allowing significant future expansion. Buyers who require integrated GPU acceleration or a front bezel and ready rails included in the shipment should evaluate other platforms.
Storage controller interface
The PERC H330 provides 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity for the eight installed drive trays, with the chassis supporting up to sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap bays in total. This controller determines which drive types can be used and whether hardware RAID levels are available for the deployment.

Questions about this item
What type of drives and backplane are required to fill the 16 front bays?
The server accepts 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives and includes eight Dell 13G trays; you must supply the remaining eight trays and drives.
Can the PERC H330 controller manage the existing SATA SSDs from an older array?
Yes, the H330 supports both SAS and SATA devices, so legacy SATA SSDs can be connected to the 12 Gb/s backplane.
How do I confirm the dual Xeon Gold 5218 CPUs and 128 GB DDR4-2400 are recognised at POST?
During boot the BIOS screen lists two 16-core processors at 2.3 GHz and shows 128 GB of registered ECC memory at 2400 MT/s.
