Four-socket Xeon Gold server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rackmount server equipped with four Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors. Each CPU delivers 12 cores at a base frequency of 2.3 GHz with a 3.2 GHz turbo. The system ships with 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 48 available slots. It targets organisations running memory-intensive databases or virtualisation clusters.

Sustained load behaviour

Redundant 1600 watt platinum power supplies and hot-swap drive bays support continuous operation without downtime. The PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache manages RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across the eight installed 800 GB SATA SSDs. Quad-port networking provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links for steady throughput. iDRAC 9 Enterprise enables remote monitoring and firmware updates while the host remains under full load.

Maximum memory capacity decides fit

The Intel C620 chipset architecture supports up to 6 TB of DDR4 when all 48 DIMM slots are populated. This ceiling determines whether the platform can accommodate future in-memory workload growth. Buyers whose roadmap exceeds this limit must evaluate alternative architectures. The current 64 GB configuration leaves substantial headroom for incremental expansion.
