CPU Model Gold 6130

  • 4× Xeon Gold 6130 16-core CPUs deliver 64 total cores for heavy workloads
  • 256 GB DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory supports large datasets
  • PERC H730P 2 GB controller enables RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 and pass-through
  • 8× 400 GB SATA SSDs provide fast, reliable storage in 8-bay 2.5″ chassis

Mission-Critical 3U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a four-socket rack server built for demanding enterprise workloads. Four Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors deliver 64 total cores at 2.10 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo. 256 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory and eight 400 GB SATA SSDs provide a balanced compute and storage foundation in a 3U chassis.

Virtualization and Database Focus

This configuration suits organizations running dense virtualization, in-memory databases or analytics that benefit from high core counts and large memory capacity. Redundant 1600 W platinum power supplies, iDRAC9 Enterprise and quad-port 1GbE and 10Gb SFP+ networking support continuous operation. Buyers who need more than 48 DIMM slots or a different drive interface should evaluate other models.

Four-Socket Scaling Limit

The system reaches its maximum processor count with the four installed Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs, so no further socket expansion is possible. Memory can scale to 6 TB across the 48 available slots. The PERC H730P controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes for flexible storage arrangement.

Questions about this item

What storage interface does the PERC H730P controller use and what speed does it cap at?

The PERC H730P is a 12Gb/s SAS and SATA controller, so the eight installed 400GB SSDs run at SATA 6Gb/s while the controller itself supports 12Gb/s SAS links.

What physical parts are required to mount the 3U chassis in a rack?

The unit includes Dell Ready Rails and a front bezel, which together let the 3U server slide into a standard rack without extra brackets.

How is the iDRAC9 Enterprise licence activated, and what step is often missed?

iDRAC9 Enterprise is factory-enabled on the motherboard; the step people miss is setting a static IP and password on the dedicated management port before putting the server into production.
