Dual Xeon Gold 5218 5U Server
The Dell PowerEdge T440 is a 5U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 5218 processors running at 2.3GHz with a 3.9GHz turbo frequency. Sixteen cores across both CPUs provide a platform for virtualization, database hosting and software-defined storage workloads. Sixteen gigabytes of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory are installed across two slots, leaving fourteen slots free for expansion up to one terabyte.
Thermals Power and Noise
Dual 750 watt platinum-efficiency power supplies deliver redundant hot-swap power for continuous operation in demanding environments. The 5U chassis accommodates sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays with airflow designed for dense storage configurations. Fan speed is managed by iDRAC 9 Express based on real-time thermal sensors across processors, memory and storage controllers.
PERC H730P and iDRAC 9 Express
The PERC H730P controller with two gigabytes of cache enables RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode for the four installed 960GB SATA SSDs. Battery-backed cache protects in-flight data during unexpected power loss. iDRAC 9 Express provides agent-free remote management including virtual console, power control and hardware inventory without requiring an operating system.

Questions about this item
How do I install the PERC H730P RAID controller and what step is often missed?
The H730P is already installed in a PCIe slot; the step people miss is connecting its 2GB cache battery module before creating virtual disks.
What maintenance will the 960GB SATA SSDs and 750W power supplies need later?
SSDs have no moving parts and need no scheduled service; the hot-swap PSUs can be replaced individually while the server stays running.
What limit appears first when both Xeon Gold 5218 CPUs run at 3.9GHz turbo under sustained load?
The 750W platinum power supplies set the ceiling; combined processor draw at max turbo can exceed their rated output before thermal limits are reached.
