Four-socket Xeon Gold 5120 server

This new Dell PowerEdge R940 packs four Intel Xeon Gold 5120 processors at 2.2 GHz, each with 14 cores. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 16 modules. The 3U rack chassis includes redundant 1600 W platinum power supplies, rails and a front bezel.

Suits dense virtualisation and database clusters

Organisations that need maximum core count and memory capacity in a 3U form factor will benefit. Buyers who require more than 48 DIMM slots or more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays should look at larger platforms.

PERC H730P 2 GB SAS controller

The integrated Dell PERC H730P provides 12 Gb/s SAS connectivity with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 support plus battery-backed cache. This single component determines whether the storage topology matches the workload.

Questions about this item

What rack height and mounting hardware does the R940 need?

It occupies 3U and ships with Ready Rails and a front bezel for direct installation.

Can the H730P controller use the existing 300 GB 10 K SAS drives?

Yes, the controller supports SAS and SATA drives and the unit includes two 300 GB 10 K SAS drives.

How do I confirm the 512 GB DDR4 2400 MHz memory is recognised after power-on?

Check the iDRAC9 Enterprise inventory or the POST memory count; both should show 512 GB across the 48 slots.
