Dell PowerEdge T440 5U server for virtualization
This new Dell PowerEdge T440 is a 5U tower server built for enterprise workloads. Two Intel Xeon Silver 4116 processors deliver 24 cores at 2.1 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo. The system ships with 16 GB of DDR4 ECC memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller. Four 960 GB SATA SSDs provide high-speed storage out of the box.
Suits virtualization hosts and database servers.
The dual-socket design and 16 drive bays make it a strong fit for VMware ESXi, Hyper-V or Proxmox clusters needing dense local storage. Integrated dual-port Gigabit Ethernet and iDRAC 9 Express simplify remote management. Buyers who need GPU acceleration for AI training or workstations requiring discrete graphics should look elsewhere because the chassis and power budget target storage and compute density instead.
PERC H730P RAID controller with 2 GB cache
The installed Dell PERC H730P supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Its 2 GB flash-backed cache protects write data during power loss. This controller decides whether the four 960 GB SSDs can be grouped for redundancy or performance, so verify the RAID level your application requires before deployment.

Questions about this item
Do I need to populate all sixteen DDR4 slots before the dual Xeon Silver 4116 processors will boot?
No, the server ships with two 8 GB DDR4-2400 ECC RDIMMs installed and will run with only those modules; the remaining fourteen slots are available for future expansion up to 1 TB.
Can I keep using my existing 2.5-inch SATA drives alongside the four 960 GB SSDs already installed?
Yes, the PERC H730P controller supports mixed SAS and SATA drives, and the chassis provides sixteen hot-swap bays so additional 2.5-inch SATA drives can be added without removing the factory SSDs.
How do I confirm the PERC H730P battery is healthy after the server is powered on?
Open the iDRAC 9 Express web interface, navigate to Storage > Controllers, and verify the battery status shows "OK" or "Charged" for the H730P; a green LED on the controller card also indicates normal operation.
