DELL PowerEdge R930 4U rack server 4x Xeon E7-8867 v4 2.4GHz 16-core 3TB DDR4 4x 1.92TB SSD H730P

Enterprise 4U server with four Xeon processors

The Dell PowerEdge R930 is a 4U rack server equipped with four Intel Xeon E7-8867 v4 processors, each running at 2.4 GHz with 16 cores. It ships with 3 TB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 96 slots and four 1.92 TB SATA SSDs managed by a PERC H730P controller. The platform targets organisations running memory-intensive databases, virtualisation clusters or analytics workloads that require high core counts and large memory capacity in a single chassis.

Tool-less rails and hot-plug drive bays simplify

Ready Rails and a front bezel are included for tool-less rack mounting, while the 2.5-inch drive bays support hot-plug SATA or SAS devices. The PERC H730P controller offers battery-backed cache for RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, reducing the risk of data loss during unexpected power events. Common issues arise when mixing drive types without verifying controller firmware compatibility or when memory population rules for the 96 DIMM slots are not followed.

Verify rack depth, power circuits

The 4U form factor requires a rack with sufficient depth and airflow clearance for four 1100 W power supplies, which need appropriate PDU connections. The Intel X520/I350 daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports, so confirm that your top-of-rack switches have matching transceivers and cabling. Ensure the operating system and hypervisor versions support the Xeon E7-8867 v4 and the H730P controller to avoid driver conflicts.
