Enterprise 5U Server System
The Dell PowerEdge T440 is a 5U tower server designed for virtualization, database hosting, file storage and backup workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 5218 processors running at 2.3GHz with 3.9GHz turbo across sixteen cores each. The system includes 256GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory installed across eight slots.
Installation and Common Issues
The chassis provides sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays that accept SAS, SATA and SSD devices without tools. The PERC H730P controller with 2GB cache supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Dual 750W platinum power supplies are hot-plug redundant. Note that front bezel and ready rails are not included in this configuration.
Interface and Capacity Limits
The SATA 6Gb/s interface on the installed 1.92TB solid state drives caps sequential throughput at the bus maximum. The H730P controller operates on a 12Gb/s SAS/SATA link which exceeds the drive interface speed. Memory capacity can expand to 1TB using the sixteen available DDR4 slots. Dual 1GbE ports provide baseline network connectivity for management and data traffic.

Questions about this item
How can I verify the dual Xeon Gold 5218 processors are running at 2.3 GHz base and 3.9 GHz turbo after installation?
Check the BIOS or iDRAC 9 Express System Overview — both report each CPU's current clock speed and core count so you can confirm 2.3 GHz base and 3.9 GHz turbo on the two installed processors.
Which components are included and which must be purchased separately for this 16-bay 5U server?
Included: two Xeon Gold 5218 CPUs, 256 GB DDR4-2400 ECC RDIMM (8 × 32 GB), PERC H730P 2 GB controller with battery, four 1.92 TB SATA SSDs, dual 1 GbE ports, iDRAC 9 Express, two 750 W platinum PSUs. Not included: front bezel, ready rails, rack conversion kit, additional drives or memory.
Should I choose the 256 GB DDR4 configuration or expand toward the 1 TB maximum for virtualization workloads?
The system ships with 256 GB across 8 of 16 slots (8 × 32 GB DDR4-2400 ECC). For heavier VM density, add matching 32 GB DDR4-2400 ECC RDIMMs to fill remaining slots up to the 1 TB limit.
