DELL PowerEdge T440 5U rack server 2× Xeon Silver 4116 2.1GHz 12-core 64GB DDR4 HBA330 16-bay 2.5″ 2× 750W PSU

Dual Xeon Silver 4116 5U Server

The Dell PowerEdge T440 is a 5U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Silver 4116 processors running at 2.1GHz with a 3.0GHz turbo frequency. Each CPU provides 12 cores, delivering 24 threads for multi-threaded workloads. The system includes 64GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across four 16GB modules installed in 16 available slots. A PERC HBA330 storage controller manages up to sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays, though only four drive trays are included and no drives are installed.

Virtualisation and storage workloads

This server suits organisations deploying virtualisation platforms such as VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V or Proxmox VE, as well as database hosting, file services and backup infrastructure. The dual-socket design and large memory capacity support consolidated workloads, while the 16-bay chassis allows extensive local storage arrays. Buyers who require pre-installed drives, a different storage controller with RAID capability, or a tower form factor without rack conversion should consider other configurations.

Sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays

The defining specification is the 16-bay 2.5-inch hot-swap chassis paired with the HBA330 controller, which determines how much local SAS or SATA storage can be attached directly. Memory can be expanded to 1TB using the remaining 12 DDR4 slots, and the two 750W platinum power supplies provide redundancy. The rack height of 5U and the LGA 3647 socket limit physical and processor upgrade options to compatible Dell components.
