Mission-Critical 3U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack server built for mission-critical workloads. It ships with four Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors, each running at 3.2 GHz with eight cores. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 48 available slots. Eight 2.4 TB SAS hard drives connect through a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache.

Suited for Dense Compute, Not Minimal Space

This platform suits organisations that need maximum processor density and memory capacity in a 3U footprint. Four-socket scaling and redundant 1600 W power supplies support continuous operation for databases and virtualisation clusters. Buyers who require a 1U or 2U form factor, fewer than four processors, or a lower power envelope should evaluate other platforms.

Four-Socket Xeon Gold 6134 Configuration

The defining specification is the installed four-socket configuration using Xeon Gold 6134 CPUs at 3.2 GHz. This fixed topology delivers 32 total cores and sets the baseline for licensing, memory channel population and thermal design. Confirm that your workload and software licensing model align with this specific processor count before purchase.

Questions about this item

What rack height and rails does the 3U PowerEdge R940 need?

The server uses 3U of rack space and includes Ready Rails for mounting in a standard rack.

How do I install the four Xeon Gold 6134 processors and 256GB DDR4 memory, and what step is often missed?

Each of the four LGA 3647 sockets must receive a processor and matching heatsink; the 48 DDR4 slots are populated in sets of eight per CPU, and the step often missed is enabling all four NUMA nodes in the BIOS after installation.

Which components in the R940 will need replacement first during long-term operation?

The eight 2.4TB 10K SAS drives, the H730P controller battery, and the two 1600W power supplies are the primary field-replaceable units that wear over time.
