Dell PowerEdge T440 5U Server
The Dell PowerEdge T440 is a 5U tower server that supports optional rack conversion. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 5218 processors running at 2.3 GHz with a 3.9 GHz turbo frequency, providing 16 cores each. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across eight 32 GB modules and a Dell PERC HBA330 storage controller.
Suited for virtualization and database hosting
This configuration suits businesses running VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, or Proxmox VE virtualization, as well as Microsoft SQL Server and database hosting. It also fits file storage, backup, software-defined storage, and private cloud infrastructure. Buyers who need GPU acceleration should look at a different platform. Organisations requiring more than two processors or memory beyond 1 TB will need a larger chassis.
16-bay 2.5-inch hot-swap drive capacity
The chassis provides sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap bays supporting SAS and SATA drives. Four Dell Enterprise 960 GB SATA SSDs are installed. The HBA330 controller delivers 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA connectivity without RAID functionality. This bay count and controller choice determine how much internal storage can be added and whether hardware RAID is available.

Questions about this item
What rack space and drive-bay size does the 5U T440 require?
The server occupies 5U of rack height and provides sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays.
How are the 256GB DDR4 modules installed, and what mistake should be avoided?
Eight 32GB DDR4-2400 ECC RDIMMs fill eight of the sixteen slots; populate the remaining slots in matched pairs per processor to keep memory balanced.
When will the 960GB SATA SSDs or the 750W power supplies need replacement?
The four 960GB SATA SSDs and dual 750W platinum supplies are hot-swappable; replace a drive when its SMART health drops or a supply if its status LED shows a fault.
