Dell PowerEdge R440 — Full Technical Specifications

The R440 is the entry two-socket machine of Dell's fourteenth generation: two sockets, a modest memory count and very little expansion, in the thinnest chassis Dell makes. It was bought in volume for virtualisation, for domain and application servers, and as the workhorse of managed-service racks.

Both a new build and refurbished units are offered on this page.

Full Specifications

Two lines here are easy to misread. The first is the memory row, which names a ceiling and then a lower recommended figure — the difference between them is the point where the memory clock drops, and a configuration built to the higher number does not run at the headline speed. The second is the networking row: the onboard ports can be supplemented by a riser, and which riser a used machine came with is not something you can tell from a photograph. Boot devices are listed separately from the storage controller, which is where most people put the operating system on this model. Expansion beyond that is two slots and no more.
