DELL PowerEdge R930 24 Bay rack server 4×Xeon E7-4809 32GB DDR4 12×146GB SAS

Enterprise rack server with quad Xeon processors

The Dell PowerEdge R930 is a 24-bay 2.5-inch rack server designed for enterprise workloads. It ships with four Intel Xeon E7-4809 v4 8-core CPUs running at 2.1 GHz and 32 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered memory. Twelve 146 GB 15K SAS drives provide 1.75 TB of raw storage managed by a PERC H330 12 Gb/s RAID controller. The system includes iDRAC8 Express for remote management and a Broadcom 5720 quad-port 1 GbE daughtercard for network connectivity.

Verify rack space power and SAS cabling

Before ordering confirm that your rack can accommodate a 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis and that your power distribution units can supply redundant feeds. The server uses SAS 6 Gb/s drives so your backplane and cabling must support that interface. No operating system is installed so you will need to provision one separately. Ensure your deployment process accounts for the PERC H330 RAID configuration and iDRAC8 Express network setup.

Redundant power supplies manage thermals and noise

Dual redundant power supplies share the load to maintain stable operation under typical enterprise conditions. The 24-bay chassis directs airflow across the four processors, memory modules and 15K SAS drives to keep temperatures within specification. Fan speeds adjust automatically based on sensor readings so acoustic output varies with workload intensity. Power draw scales with CPU utilisation and drive activity rather than sitting at a fixed maximum.
