DELL PowerEdge R930 4U rack server 4× Xeon E7-8891 v4 2.8 GHz 10-core 1.5 TB DDR4 4× 1.92 TB SSD H730P

Four-socket Xeon server for memory-intensive

The Dell PowerEdge R930 is a 4U rack server populated with four Intel Xeon E7-8891 v4 processors, each running at 2.8 GHz with 10 cores. It ships with 1.5 TB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 48 DIMM slots and a PERC H730P controller managing four 1.92 TB SATA SSDs in configurable RAID levels. The platform targets organisations running in-memory databases, large-scale virtualisation or analytics that demand high core counts and massive memory capacity in a single chassis.

Verify rack space, power and network infrastructure

Before ordering, confirm your rack can accommodate a 4U enclosure and that your facility provides sufficient power distribution for four 1100 W platinum-rated supplies. The integrated Intel X520/I350 daughter card delivers two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports, so ensure compatible switching and cabling are available. The system uses LGA 2011 sockets and the Intel C602J chipset with 96 total DIMM slots supporting up to 12 TB, so future memory expansion requires DDR4 registered ECC modules only.

Sustained operation relies on redundant cooling

Under continuous load, the four processors and full memory complement draw significant power, which the four 1100 W supplies share in a redundant configuration to maintain uptime. The 4U chassis directs airflow across all components, while the PERC H730P battery-backed cache protects write data during unexpected power events. iDRAC 8 Enterprise provides remote monitoring of thermal status, power draw and storage health, allowing administrators to address thresholds before they affect running workloads.
