Platform specifications
These are platform capabilities and documented options. Match the exact processor, chassis and installed components to the applicable manufacturer document.
| Form factor | 5U Tower |
|---|---|
| Processor sockets | 2 |
| Memory technology | DDR4 |
| Memory slots | 16 |
| Drive-bay options | Up to 8 × 3.5-inch or 16 × 2.5-inch SAS/SATA bays. |
| Expansion | Up to 5 PCIe 3.0 slots. |
| Management | iDRAC9; licensed features vary. |
Storage and expansion figures describe supported platform configurations, not the components included in every listing. Bay counts, interfaces, controllers, risers and required accessories must be checked together. See the linked manufacturer specification sheet and the selected CTO configuration for details.

Plan a complete configuration
Processor & memory
Match your application requirements to the supported processor family. Verify DIMM type, occupied slots and population rules; installed CPU count can affect available memory and expansion.
Storage & expansion
Confirm drive size, backplane, controller, carriers and cables. Check risers, PCIe slot availability and network requirements before selecting upgrades.
Condition & delivery
Compare the complete configured price, warranty terms and lead time. Include your quantity, destination and preferred condition when requesting a quote.
Common questions
Can I configure and buy this model online?
Yes. Use Configure & Buy to open the current CTO listing and choose its available options. Contact us for requirements outside that listing.
Does the specification sheet describe my exact system?
No. It describes platform options for its document edition. Check your installed processor, memory, chassis, controller, power supply and expansion components before selecting parts.
PowerEdge T440 or T640 — which should I choose?
Both are 5U tower platforms with two processor sockets, so the choice is not about form factor or socket count. The documented difference on these pages is memory capacity: the T440 provides 16 DDR4 DIMM slots and the T640 provides 24. If the workload is memory-bound — a virtualisation host carrying many concurrent guests, or an in-memory database — those extra eight slots are the reason to move up.
The T440’s documented storage and expansion options are up to 8 × 3.5-inch or 16 × 2.5-inch SAS/SATA bays and up to five PCIe 3.0 slots, with iDRAC9 management. The T640’s drive-bay and expansion options are not listed on its page here, so check the linked T640 specification sheet rather than assuming a layout.
Storage and expansion figures describe supported platform configurations, not the components included in a particular listing. Configure a PowerEdge T440 or a PowerEdge T640 to see what a specific build contains, or review the T640 specifications page first. Either platform is inspected, configured to the specification you order and functionally tested before it ships, and carries our standard 3-year warranty.
