Four-socket 3U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 packs four Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors, each with 24 cores at 2.1 GHz, into a 3U chassis. Redundant 1600 W hot-swap power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise remote management come standard. Eight 400 GB SATA SSDs sit behind a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache.

Suited for dense four-socket compute.

This server suits organisations that need maximum core density in 3U with redundant 1600 W power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise remote management. Buyers who only need one or two sockets should look at smaller platforms.

48 DDR4 slots define maximum memory

The system provides 48 DDR4 DIMM slots supporting up to 6 TB of registered ECC memory. Installed capacity is 128 GB across eight 16 GB modules. Expansion beyond that requires populating the remaining slots with compatible DDR4 RDIMMs.

Questions about this item

What DDR4 memory modules do I need to add to the 48 DIMM slots to reach the 6 TB maximum?

Install registered ECC DDR4 2666 MHz DIMMs in the remaining 40 slots; the system supports up to 6 TB total capacity.

Can the PERC H730P controller manage my existing 2.5-inch SATA drives alongside the eight 400 GB SSDs?

Yes, the H730P supports SAS and SATA, so older 2.5-inch SATA drives can be added to the same backplane and configured in RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60.

How do I confirm the four Xeon 8160 processors are all recognised and running at 2.1 GHz after installation?

Check the iDRAC9 Enterprise System > Inventory > CPUs page; it will list four Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 CPUs each showing 2.1 GHz base frequency.
