Four-socket Xeon platform for mission-critical

The PowerEdge R940 fits four Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors in a 3U rack chassis. Each CPU delivers 24 cores at 2.1 GHz with a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. The system ships with 256 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules. It targets organisations that need dense compute for databases, virtualisation or real-time analytics.

Sustained multi-threaded throughput across four

All four processors are installed at the factory maximum, so the platform can maintain high core counts under continuous load without throttling from missing sockets. The Dell PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache manages eight 400 GB SATA SSDs in RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60. Quad-port networking provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links for steady data flow.

Redundant 1600 W platinum power supplies

Hot-swap power modules share the load and keep the server running if one unit fails. The iDRAC 9 Enterprise controller gives out-of-band access for monitoring temperatures, fans and power draw from anywhere. Ready Rails and a front bezel are included for standard rack mounting.

Questions about this item

How much heat and power should I expect from the four Xeon Platinum 8160 CPUs and dual 1600 W PSUs running 24/7?

Four 24-core Xeon Platinum 8160 processors at 2.1 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo draw significant power; the redundant 1600 W platinum PSUs supply up to 1600 W each, so sustained load will generate considerable heat requiring proper rack airflow.

Which cables, drives or rails must I already have to install this 3U server in my rack?

The unit ships with Ready Rails and a front bezel; eight 2.5-inch 400 GB SATA SSDs are installed, so only standard rack power cables and network patch cords for the X520/I350 daughter card are needed.

Will my existing DDR4 RDIMMs and SATA SSDs work alongside the installed 256 GB memory and PERC H730P controller?

The system has 48 DDR4 slots supporting up to 6 TB of registered ECC memory at 2666 MHz, and the H730P handles SATA and SAS drives in RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60, so compatible modules and drives can be added.
