Mission-critical 3U server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack server built for mission-critical applications and real-time decision workloads. Four Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors each run at 2.1GHz with 24 cores. The system ships with 128GB of DDR4 2666MHz registered ECC memory across eight modules.

Fits four-socket density, not smaller builds

This configuration suits organisations that need maximum compute density in a 3U footprint with four-socket scaling. Buyers who require only one or two processors, or who need a tower form factor, should look at smaller platforms. The installed memory uses DDR4 technology; sites standardised on other memory generations cannot reuse existing DIMMs.

Four-socket Xeon 8160 core count

The defining specification is the four-socket design populated with Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 CPUs, each providing 24 cores at 2.1GHz base frequency. This determines whether the total core count and memory capacity match the workload requirements.

Questions about this item

Does the 3U Dell PowerEdge R940 ship with rails for a standard rack?

Yes, the server includes Dell Ready Rails and a front bezel for rack mounting.

How are the four Xeon Platinum 8160 processors and 128GB of DDR4 memory installed?

All four CPUs and the 8x 16GB DDR4 2666MHz Registered ECC modules come pre-installed from the factory.

What drive maintenance should I plan for the eight 2.4TB SAS hard drives?

The 10K SAS drives are hot-swappable behind the 8-bay front chassis; replace any failed unit without powering down the server.
