DELL PowerEdge T440 5U rack server 2x Xeon Silver 4210 2.2GHz 256GB DDR4

Dual 10-Core Xeon Server

The Dell PowerEdge T440 is a 5U tower server equipped with two Intel Xeon Silver 4210 processors, each running at 2.2 GHz with a 3.2 GHz turbo. It includes 256 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across eight 32 GB modules. The system targets virtualization, database hosting, and software-defined storage workloads. Buyers who need GPU compute density or single-threaded frequency above 3.2 GHz should look elsewhere.

HBA330 Controller and Trays

A Dell PERC HBA330 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller manages up to sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap bays, though only four drive trays are supplied. Dual integrated 1 GbE ports and iDRAC 9 Express provide out-of-band management without extra licences. Two 750 W platinum hot-swap power supplies deliver redundancy. The bundle omits drives, a front bezel, and rack rails, so buyers who want a turnkey array must source those separately.

Tower-to-Rack Conversion

The chassis operates as a tower by default; an optional rack conversion kit is required for 5U rack mounting. Sixteen DIMM slots allow expansion to 1 TB, and PCIe slots accept RAID cards, additional NICs, or GPUs within the 750 W power budget. Installation proceeds by seating processors, populating memory, adding drives to the included trays, and cabling power. Missing rails or a conversion kit are the most common oversights that delay rack deployment.
