DELL PowerEdge R940 3U Rack Server 4x Xeon Gold 6148 2.4GHz 20-Core 768GB DDR4 8x 800GB SSD H730P

Four-socket Xeon Gold 6148 server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack system built around four Intel Xeon Gold 6148 processors running at 2.4 GHz with 20 cores each. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 DIMMs and a PERC H730P 2 GB controller. Eight 800 GB SATA SSDs fill the front 2.5-inch bays, while dual 1600 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise provide redundancy and remote management.

Suited for dense virtualisation

This configuration targets organisations that need maximum core count and memory capacity in a 3U footprint for virtualisation, in-memory databases or high-throughput transaction processing. The four-socket design and 48 DIMM slots support up to 6 TB of DDR4. Buyers who require more than eight internal drives or who need PCIe-based storage acceleration should evaluate alternative platforms, as the front bays are fully populated with SATA SSDs.

768 GB DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory

The installed 768 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory determines whether this server can handle your working set without paging. With 24 of 48 slots occupied, there is room to scale toward the 6 TB maximum using compatible DDR4 RDIMMs or LRDIMMs. Verify that your application and operating system can address this capacity and that any additional modules match the registered ECC specification.
