Four-socket 3U server for mission-critical workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack server equipped with four Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory installed across 16 DIMM slots. The system includes a PERC H730P 2 GB SAS controller, two 300 GB 10K SAS drives, and dual 1600 W platinum power supplies.

Suits database clusters.

Buyers who need more than 6 TB of memory, who require all-flash storage without mechanical drives, or who operate in space-constrained racks below 3U should evaluate alternative form factors. The four-socket design scales to the platform maximum of 48 DIMM slots and 6 TB total capacity. Workloads demanding GPU acceleration or single-thread speeds above 3.7 GHz turbo will not reach peak performance here.

Memory ceiling of 6 TB DDR4 decides fit

With 48 DDR4 slots and a 6 TB maximum, the R940 covers large in-memory databases and dense virtualisation. If the application dataset exceeds 6 TB or requires persistent memory modules, this chassis cannot accommodate it. The installed 512 GB configuration uses 16 of 48 slots, leaving 32 slots open for expansion.

Questions about this item

What rack height and rail kit does the R940 require for mounting?

The server is a 3U rack model and ships with ready rails for installation in a standard rack enclosure.

What is the correct order for installing the four Xeon Gold 6130 processors and 512 GB of DDR4 memory?

Populate all four LGA 3647 sockets with the 16-core CPUs first, then fill the 48 DIMM slots with the 32 GB registered ECC modules to reach 512 GB.

Which components in the R940 are hot-swappable for later replacement?

The two 1600 W power supplies, the two 300 GB 10K SAS drives, and the PERC H730P controller battery are all hot-swappable.
