DELL PowerEdge R930 4U Rack Server 4x Xeon E7-8890 v4 2.2GHz 24C 3TB DDR4 24x 600GB SAS H730P

Four-Socket Xeon Server for Enterprise Workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R930 is a 4U rack server populated with four Intel Xeon E7-8890 v4 processors, each running at 2.2 GHz with 24 cores. It ships with 3 TB of DDR4-2400 registered ECC memory across 96 populated slots and a PERC H730P RAID controller managing twenty-four 600 GB 10K SAS drives. Quad-port networking combines two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links, while iDRAC8 Enterprise handles remote management. Four 1100 W platinum power supplies and rails complete the package for immediate deployment.

Replaces Older Four-Socket Platforms When Density

This system consolidates the compute of multiple two-socket boxes into a single 4U chassis, delivering 96 total cores and up to 12 TB of memory capacity for in-memory databases, virtualization clusters, or ERP landscapes. The jump is justified when licensing, rack space, or interconnect latency favour a single large domain over a scale-out cluster. Buyers running lighter workloads or needing only two sockets should evaluate smaller platforms instead.

Verify Rack Power, Cooling.

Confirm the facility can supply four 1100 W circuits and dissipate the thermal load of a fully populated 4U server. Ensure top-of-rack switches have available SFP+ ports for the 10 GbE uplinks and that SAS cabling matches the PERC H730P controller. Memory expansion beyond 3 TB requires additional DDR4-2400 RDIMMs or LRDIMMs compatible with the 96-slot configuration.
