Mission-critical 4-socket server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack system built around four Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors running at 2.3 GHz with twelve cores each. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across forty-eight slots and a Dell PERC H730P controller managing eight 400 GB SATA solid-state drives. Dual 1600 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management come standard.

Suited for dense database

This configuration targets organisations that need maximum core count and memory capacity in a compact 3U form factor, with hardware RAID across all eight drive bays and quad-port 1/10 GbE networking built in. Buyers who require GPU compute sleds, larger drive counts than eight bays or single-thread speeds beyond the 3.2 GHz turbo should evaluate alternative platforms.

Four-socket Xeon Gold 5118 foundation

The decisive specification is the quartet of twelve-core Xeon Gold 5118 CPUs delivering forty-eight total cores at a 2.3 GHz base frequency with 3.2 GHz turbo. This processor choice fixes the LGA 3647 socket, the Intel C620 chipset and the six-terabyte DDR4 ceiling, determining every subsequent upgrade path for memory, storage controllers and I/O cards.

Questions about this item

Does the R940 ship with the 8 × 400 GB SSDs installed and are rails included?

Yes, the server comes with eight 400 GB SATA SSDs already fitted in the 2.5″ bays and the ready rails are supplied in the box.

Is the installed 64 GB DDR4 the maximum this model can hold?

No, the R940 supports up to 6 TB across 48 slots, so the 64 GB (4 × 16 GB) fitted today leaves ample room for expansion.

What throughput can the PERC H730P controller deliver to the eight SATA SSDs?

The H730P provides a 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA link with 2 GB cache, enabling full RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 performance across all eight drives.
