Four-socket Xeon server for dense workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack server fitted with four Intel Xeon Gold 5120 processors, each running at 2.2 GHz with 14 cores. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 48 slots and eight 800 GB SATA SSDs managed by a PERC H730P RAID controller. Dual 1600 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise provide redundancy and remote management.

Suited for memory-intensive databases

This system targets organisations that need maximum core density and memory capacity in a 3U footprint. The four-processor design supports up to 6 TB of DDR4 for large in-memory datasets. Buyers who need more than four processors or require storage interfaces beyond SATA and SAS should look elsewhere.

48 DDR4 slots define the memory ceiling

With 48 DIMM slots and a 6 TB maximum, the slot count is the decisive specification for capacity planning. The installed 64 GB uses only four slots, leaving ample room for expansion. Matching registered ECC DDR4 modules is essential; the platform does not support other memory types.

Questions about this item

How are the eight 800 GB SSDs installed in the 3U chassis, and which step is often missed?

The drives slide into the front 2.5" hot-swap bays; the step often missed is creating the virtual disks in the PERC H730P BIOS before the OS installer runs.

Which component will need replacement first under continuous operation?

The PERC H730P controller's battery-backed write cache module typically reaches end-of-life before the SSDs or power supplies.

What limit appears first when all four Xeon Gold 5120 processors run sustained heavy workloads?

The 1600 W redundant power supplies set the ceiling; total platform draw under full turbo can approach their rated output.
