Purpose-built server

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 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 modules and a PERC H730P controller managing eight 600 GB 10K SAS drives. Dual 1600 W platinum power supplies, iDRAC9 Enterprise, and a quad-port 1GbE/10Gb SFP+ network card complete the configuration.

Fit and alternatives

This system suits organisations that need maximum compute density in a 3U chassis with four-socket scalability and redundant power. Buyers who require more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays, a different drive interface or a smaller rack footprint should evaluate other platforms. Workloads that do not benefit from 64 total cores or 768 GB of memory may find a dual-socket server more cost-effective.

Deciding specification

The installed memory of 768 GB across 48 available DDR4 slots determines whether this server can hold the working set for in-memory databases or large virtualisation clusters. If the application demands more than 768 GB today, the 6 TB maximum capacity allows expansion; if it needs less, a smaller configuration reduces capital outlay.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 768GB DDR4 configuration or add more memory up to the 6TB maximum?

The system ships with 768GB across 24 slots using 32GB modules; 24 slots remain free for expansion up to 6TB with compatible DDR4 registered ECC DIMMs.

What does the 2.1GHz base clock with 3.7GHz turbo mean for sustained workloads?

Each Xeon Gold 6130 runs at 2.1GHz base and can boost to 3.7GHz depending on core count, temperature and power limits, so sustained all-core speeds will sit between those two figures.

How does the PERC H730P 12Gb/s SAS controller limit the eight 600GB 10K drives?

The H730P provides 12Gb/s SAS bandwidth per port and supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60; the eight 600GB 10K drives connect at 12Gb/s and the controller’s 2GB cache absorbs write bursts.
