Enterprise 5U Server System

The Dell PowerEdge T440 is a 5U tower server that can be converted for rack deployment. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors, each delivering 12 cores at a 2.3GHz base frequency with a 3.2GHz turbo capability. The system includes 128GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across four 32GB modules. This configuration targets virtualization, database hosting, and software-defined storage workloads.

Storage Controller And Drive Bays

A Dell PERC H730P controller with 2GB cache manages up to sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drive trays supporting SAS and SATA media. The controller enables RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60 plus pass-through modes backed by a battery. Redundant 750W platinum power supplies are hot-pluggable. The front bezel and rack rails are not included, so plan for separate mounting hardware if rack installation is intended.

Memory And Expansion Limits

Sixteen DDR4 slots allow expansion up to 1TB of ECC registered memory when all sockets are populated. The dual-socket LGA 3647 design is already at its maximum processor count of two, so no further CPU upgrades are possible. Buyers who need more storage bays or additional PCIe devices beyond the available slots should evaluate larger chassis options. The integrated dual-port Gigabit Ethernet and iDRAC 9 Express provide baseline remote management and connectivity.
