DELL PowerEdge T440 5U rack server 2x Xeon Silver 4110 2.1GHz 256GB DDR4 4x 960GB SSD H330

Enterprise 5U server with dual Xeon Silver 4110

The Dell PowerEdge T440 is a new 5U rack server built for virtualization, database hosting, and business-critical applications. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4110 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with a 3.0 GHz turbo frequency and eight cores per socket. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across eight 32 GB modules installed in a 16-slot configuration. This hardware suits organizations deploying VMware ESXi, Hyper-V, or Proxmox VE clusters that need strong multi-threaded compute density.

PERC H330 controller with four 960 GB SSDs

A Dell PERC H330 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA storage controller manages the internal drive array. The bundle adds four Dell Enterprise 960 GB SATA 6 Gb/s 2.5-inch solid-state drives pre-installed in the 16-bay hot-swap chassis. This combination delivers hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, and 50 support for the included SSDs, leaving twelve bays open for future SAS, SATA, or SSD expansion. Integrated dual-port Gigabit Ethernet and iDRAC 9 Express remote management provide baseline connectivity and out-of-band administration without extra cards.

Tool-less drive bays and redundant 750 W power

The 16-bay 2.5-inch front panel uses tool-less carriers for quick drive insertion, and the two 750 W platinum-efficiency power supplies are hot-swappable for zero-downtime maintenance. Installation typically involves racking the 5U chassis, seating the pre-installed CPUs and memory, and cabling the four SSDs to the H330 backplane. Common issues include forgetting that the front bezel and ready rails are not included, so separate rail kits must be sourced for rack mounting, and verifying that the H330 firmware is current before creating virtual disks.
