DELL PowerEdge R930 4U rack server 4x Xeon E7-8867 v4 2.4GHz 16-core 1.5TB DDR4 24x 1.8TB SAS H730P

Four-socket Xeon server

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 1.5 TB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 48 modules and a PERC H730P RAID controller with 2 GB cache. Twenty-four 1.8 TB 10K SAS drives populate the 2.5-inch bays.

Check power and rack space

Verify that your facility can supply four 1100 W power supplies and accommodate a 4U rack height with the included rails. The motherboard uses LGA 2011 sockets and the Intel C602J chipset with 96 DIMM slots for future expansion. Network connectivity relies on a quad-port daughter card providing two 1 GbE and two 10 GbE SFP+ ports, so confirm compatible switching and cabling.

Suits memory-heavy consolidation

This configuration targets organisations running large in-memory databases, virtualisation clusters or ERP workloads that benefit from 1.5 TB of RAM and high core density. Buyers who need more storage bays, GPU acceleration or a smaller chassis should evaluate other platforms.
