Mission-critical 4-socket server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack server built for heavy compute workloads. Four Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors deliver 48 cores at 2.3 GHz with 3.2 GHz turbo. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 ECC memory and a PERC H730P controller managing two 800 GB SATA SSDs.

Suited for dense virtualisation and database tiers

Organisations running large virtual-machine farms, in-memory databases or real-time analytics will use the 48 cores and 768 GB RAM. Buyers needing more than two internal drives or a different network interface should look at other configurations.

Four-socket Xeon Gold 5118 CPU configuration

The system is populated with the maximum of four processors, so no further CPU upgrades are possible. Memory can still expand to 6 TB across 48 slots, but the processor count is fixed at four.

Questions about this item

What CPUs and memory must already be present for this four-socket R940 to operate?

The server ships with four Xeon Gold 5118 processors and 768GB of DDR4 memory installed, so no additional CPUs or RAM are required for basic operation.

Will the PERC H730P controller and 2.5-inch drive bays accept the SATA SSDs I already own?

The H730P supports SATA and SAS drives in the eight 2.5-inch bays, so existing SATA SSDs can be used alongside the two installed 800GB SSDs.

How can I confirm the iDRAC9 Enterprise and quad-port network card are functioning after first boot?

Open the iDRAC web interface to verify remote management access, then check that the X520/I350 card shows two 1GbE and two 10GbE SFP+ links as active.
