DELL PowerEdge T440 5U rack server 2× Xeon Silver 4214 2.2 GHz 12-core 16 GB DDR4 H330 4× 960 GB SSD

Dual-socket 5U server with 24 cores

The Dell PowerEdge T440 is a 5U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Silver 4214 processors. Each CPU provides twelve cores at 2.2 GHz with a 3.2 GHz turbo frequency, giving 24 cores total for virtualization or database workloads. The system ships with 16 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across sixteen DIMM slots. It is built for organisations that need internal storage density and redundant power in a tower or rack form factor.

Tool-less drive bays and rail kit required

The chassis provides sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap bays accessible from the front without tools. The four installed 960 GB SATA SSDs connect to the PERC H330 controller which supports SAS and SATA RAID. Installing the server into a rack needs the optional Dell Ready Rails kit which is not included. Memory expansion uses registered DDR4 modules only; unbuffered DIMMs will not post. The front bezel is also absent so plan for separate cable management.

Verify rack depth and power circuit

Confirm the rack enclosure depth accommodates a 5U tower chassis with rear cable clearance. Two 750 W platinum power supplies require separate PDU feeds for full redundancy. Network connectivity uses dual integrated gigabit Ethernet ports; additional NICs need a free PCIe slot. The iDRAC 9 Express licence enables remote management but advanced features need an upgrade. Maximum memory capacity is 1 TB across all sixteen slots.
