Four-Socket 3U Server System

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack server equipped with four Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 24 cores. It arrives with 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 48 slots and eight 800 GB SATA SSDs managed by a PERC H730P RAID controller with battery backup. Dual 1600 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management are included.

Suited For And Not Suited For

This server suits organisations running memory-intensive databases, virtualisation clusters or analytics workloads that benefit from four sockets and large DDR4 capacity. The eight 2.5-inch drive bays provide high-density SATA storage with hardware RAID flexibility. Buyers who require more than eight internal drive bays or a different drive interface should evaluate other platforms.

Deciding Specification

The system supports a maximum of 6 TB of DDR4 memory across 48 DIMM slots, allowing substantial future expansion from the factory-installed 256 GB. This ceiling determines whether the chassis can grow with workload demands without requiring a platform change.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.1 GHz Xeon 8160 processors and DDR4 memory work with my existing LGA 3647 motherboard?

The server uses four Xeon 8160 CPUs in LGA 3647 sockets with 256 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 48 slots.

How can I verify the PERC H730P controller and all eight 800 GB SSDs are operating correctly after installation?

Use iDRAC 9 Enterprise to check controller firmware, drive health, RAID status and sensor readings; the H730P battery backs the 2 GB cache for data protection.

Does the shipment include the X520/I350 network daughter card, rails, bezel and both 1600 W power supplies?

Yes — the quad-port 2×1 GbE and 2×10 Gb SFP+ card, ready rails, front bezel and two redundant 1600 W platinum PSUs are all included.
