Four-socket Xeon Gold 6130 server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack server equipped with four Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors running at 2.1 GHz, each providing 16 cores for a total of 64 cores. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 memory across 48 slots and includes a PERC H730P storage controller managing eight 600 GB SAS hard drives. Dual 1600 W power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management complete the package.

Suits dense virtualisation and database workloads

This configuration fits organisations that need maximum core count and memory capacity in a 3U footprint for virtualisation clusters, in-memory databases or high-throughput transaction processing. The quad-processor design and 6 TB memory ceiling support heavy multi-threaded workloads. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, all-flash storage tiers or single-thread performance above 3.7 GHz should look at alternative platforms.

64-core ceiling in 3U

The decisive specification is the four-socket limit populated with 16-core Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs, delivering 64 physical cores within a 3U chassis. This core density determines whether the server can consolidate the intended number of virtual machines or database instances without exceeding the rack space budget.

Questions about this item

How much power do the two 1600 Watt PSUs draw when the four Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs run at 2.1 GHz under full load all day?

Each supply is rated at 1600 W Platinum efficiency; actual draw depends on workload, but the redundant pair shares the load so neither unit runs at its limit.

What rack mounting hardware must I already have to install the included Ready Rails in a standard cabinet?

Ready Rails are included; they fit square-hole or threaded-hole 3U openings in a standard rack cabinet.

Will the PERC H730P controller recognise the 600 GB SAS drives if I add older 3 Gb/s or 6 Gb/s SAS disks later?

The H730P supports 12 Gb/s SAS and negotiates down to 6 Gb/s and 3 Gb/s, so legacy SAS drives will be detected and can join existing arrays.
