Mission-Critical 3U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack server built for mission-critical workloads. It ships with four Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors running at 2.1 GHz with 24 cores each. The system includes 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 48 available slots. A PERC H730P controller manages two 400 GB SATA SSDs.

Virtualisation Hosts, Not GPU Farms

This configuration suits organisations consolidating virtual machines or running large in-memory databases on the Intel C620 chipset. The quad 10 GbE SFP+ and dual 1 GbE ports handle heavy east-west traffic. Buyers needing GPU compute density or more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays should evaluate alternative platforms.

Four-Socket Scaling Limit

The board supports a maximum of four processors, and this unit already populates every LGA 3647 socket. Memory capacity can grow to 6 TB using the remaining 44 DIMM slots. Redundant 1600 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise management are included for continuous operation.

Questions about this item

When will the PERC H730P controller's 2 GB cache battery need replacement?

The PERC H730P includes a battery-backed 2 GB cache; plan to replace the battery module every 3–5 years to maintain write-back caching protection.

What thermal limit appears first when all four Xeon Platinum 8160 CPUs run at 3.7 GHz turbo continuously?

With four 24-core CPUs at 3.7 GHz turbo the 1600 W redundant power supplies and 3U airflow design set the practical thermal ceiling before CPU throttling occurs.

How loud are the fans when the server idles at 64 GB DDR4 with both 400 GB SSDs active?

Idle fan noise in a 3U rack with dual 1600 W platinum PSUs typically sits in the low-50 dBA range; sustained load pushes it higher but stays within data-centre norms.
