DELL PowerEdge R930 24-Bay Rack Server 4x Xeon E7-8891 v4 2.8GHz 10-Core 3TB DDR4 H730P 24x 600GB SAS

Four-socket Xeon E7-8891 v4 server

This Dell PowerEdge R930 is a 4U rack server populated with four Intel Xeon E7-8891 v4 processors running at 2.8 GHz with ten cores each. It ships with 3 TB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 96 slots and a PERC H730P controller managing 24 hot-plug 600 GB SAS drives. The platform targets enterprises running large in-memory databases, virtualization clusters or ERP workloads that demand maximum core count and memory capacity in a single chassis.

Suits memory-intensive consolidation.

Organisations consolidating Oracle, SAP HANA or SQL Server instances onto fewer physical hosts will benefit from the 12 TB maximum memory ceiling and 96 total cores. Buyers needing GPU acceleration for AI training, rendering or VDI should look elsewhere because the only graphics output is a basic Matrox G200 with 8 MB video memory. The four 1100 W platinum power supplies support the configured CPUs and drives but leave no provision for high-power add-in cards.

Verify rack depth, network cabling and OS licensing

Confirm the rack can accommodate a 4U chassis with the included ready rails and that power distribution can deliver four 1100 W feeds. The X520/I350 daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports, so matching transceivers and cabling must be sourced separately. Ensure the hypervisor or operating system licences cover 96 logical processors and the 3 TB memory footprint before deployment.
