DELL PowerEdge R440 1U 8x2.5" 2x Xeon Silver 4114 2.2GHz 10C 128GB DDR4 8x1.92TB SSD H330 iDRAC9 2x550W

Compact 1U rack server for dense deployments

The Dell PowerEdge R440 is a 1U rackmount server built for space-efficient data centre deployment. It targets organisations running virtualisation, cloud infrastructure, database workloads or application hosting where rack density matters. Two Intel Xeon Silver 4114 processors provide twenty cores total at 2.2 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo capability. One hundred twenty-eight gigabytes of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory supports reliable operation across multiple simultaneous workloads.

Verify rack space and storage controller needs

Confirm the 1U rackmount form factor fits your cabinet and that your rails match the chassis. The system ships without a front bezel or ready rails, so plan for separate mounting hardware. Eight 2.5-inch drive bays are populated with 1.92 TB SATA SSDs behind a PERC H330 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller; ensure this RAID controller meets your redundancy and performance requirements. Dual embedded 1 GbE ports handle network connectivity, while iDRAC9 Express provides dedicated remote management access.

Dual 550 W platinum supplies handle thermals

Two 550 watt platinum-efficiency power supplies deliver redundant power for the configured components. The 1U chassis uses internal airflow directed across the processors, memory and storage to maintain thermal limits under normal loads. Fan speed scales with inlet temperature and component utilisation, so acoustic output rises with sustained heavy compute or storage activity. Power draw will reflect the dual Xeon configuration, full memory population and eight solid-state drives operating together.
