PowerEdge R940 four-socket 3U server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack-mount server populated with four Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors running at 2.1 GHz, each providing 24 cores. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 modules and includes a PERC H730P storage controller with 2 GB cache. Eight 400 GB SATA SSDs are installed in the 2.5-inch drive bays.

Suited for dense compute and memory workloads

This configuration targets environments that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a compact rack footprint, such as virtualization clusters, in-memory databases or analytics platforms. The quad-socket design and 48 DIMM slots support up to 6 TB of DDR4 for future expansion. Buyers who require a different processor family, GPU acceleration or a smaller form factor should evaluate other platforms.

PERC H730P RAID controller with 2 GB cache

The integrated Dell PERC H730P controller provides 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity with support for RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Its 2 GB battery-backed cache helps sustain write performance and protect data during power loss. This single component determines the storage topology and data-protection options available to the system.

Questions about this item

How do I choose between the four installed Xeon 8160 processors and the maximum of four sockets?

The server arrives with all four sockets populated by Xeon Platinum 8160 CPUs, each running at 2.1 GHz with 24 cores, so no further processor upgrades are possible.

What does the 768 GB DDR4 2666 MHz memory figure mean for actual workloads?

It provides 768 GB across 24 registered ECC modules, giving a large capacity for in-memory databases and virtualization while the 2666 MHz speed supports high throughput per core.

What does the PERC H730P 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller cap in practice?

The controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through, with a 2 GB cache backed by battery, limiting array performance to the 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA interface and the eight installed 400 GB SATA SSDs.
