DELL PowerEdge R930 4U rack server 4x Xeon E7-8890 v4 2.2GHz 24-core 384GB DDR4 24x 960GB SSD

Enterprise Compute Density

The Dell PowerEdge R930 is a 4U rack server equipped with four Intel Xeon E7-8890 v4 processors, each running at 2.2 GHz with 24 cores. It ships with 384 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 48 modules and a Dell PERC H330 controller managing 24 SATA solid-state drives of 960 GB each. The platform targets organisations that need maximum core count and memory capacity in a single chassis for in-memory databases, virtualisation clusters or ERP workloads.

Thermals and Power at Rest

Four 1100 W 80+ Platinum power supplies provide redundant delivery while the system idles or handles light traffic. The 4U form factor allows generous airflow through the chassis, and the iDRAC 8 Enterprise module monitors inlet temperature and fan speed without host operating system involvement. Network connectivity uses a quad-port daughter card with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links, keeping cable count low and power draw predictable during typical business hours.

Sustained Load Behaviour

Under continuous multi-threaded pressure the processors can reach 3.4 GHz turbo frequency across all 96 cores while the PERC H330 sustains RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 or 50 across the 24 SSDs. Memory bandwidth scales to the full 12 TB capacity limit through 96 DIMM slots, and the hot-plug drive bays allow failed media replacement without downtime. The Matrox G200 graphics core with 8 MB video memory handles console output only, leaving every PCIe lane available for compute or NVMe expansion cards.
