Quad-socket 3U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack server populated with four Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors, each running at 2.3 GHz with 12 cores. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 modules and eight 400 GB SATA solid-state drives managed by a PERC H730P 2 GB controller. Dual 1600 W platinum power supplies, iDRAC9 Enterprise, quad-port 1/10 GbE networking, rails and bezel complete the unit.

Suits dense compute and memory workloads

This configuration targets databases, virtualisation hosts and in-memory analytics that benefit from 48 cores and a large DDR4 footprint in a 3U chassis. The eight-bay 2.5-inch layout and H730P controller support RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 for local redundancy. Organisations needing GPU acceleration, more than eight drive bays, or a 1U/2U form factor should evaluate other platforms.

768 GB DDR4 registered ECC memory

The installed 768 GB (24 × 32 GB) of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory occupies half the 48 available slots, leaving room to scale toward the 6 TB maximum. Buyers whose workloads fit within this capacity can deploy immediately; those requiring more memory at purchase must add modules or choose a differently configured system.

Questions about this item

What is the maximum DDR4 memory capacity the R940 can hold?

The R940 supports up to 6TB of DDR4 across 48 slots, so the current 768GB can be expanded significantly with additional 32GB modules.

How many Xeon Gold 5118 processors can this server accept?

The chassis is fully populated with the maximum of four Xeon Gold 5118 CPUs, so no further processor upgrades are possible.

What is the power supply rating and redundancy for continuous operation?

Two 1600 Watt Platinum hot-swap power supplies provide full redundancy, allowing one unit to fail or be replaced without downtime.
