Mission-critical 4-socket server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack system built for heavy workloads. Four Intel Xeon Gold 5120 processors deliver 56 total cores at 2.2 GHz with 3.2 GHz turbo. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4-2400 registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules. Dual 1600 W platinum power supplies and hot-swap drive bays support continuous operation.

Suited for dense virtualisation; not for GPU compute

This configuration fits databases, ERP suites and large virtualisation clusters that demand high core counts and memory capacity. The eight 300 GB 10K SAS drives and PERC H730P controller provide hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Buyers who require GPU acceleration or more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays should consider other platforms.

48 DIMM slots define maximum memory

The motherboard offers 48 DDR4 slots with a 6 TB ceiling, so the installed 256 GB leaves extensive headroom for future expansion. All slots accept registered ECC modules only; unbuffered or non-ECC memory will not function.
