Four-socket Xeon Platinum server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 packs four Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors, each with 24 cores at 2.10 GHz and 3.7 GHz turbo. With 512 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 48 slots and a PERC H730P 2 GB controller, it delivers high core density and large memory capacity in a 3U rack form factor.

Suited for dense compute, not GPU-heavy builds

This server suits organisations that need maximum core density and memory capacity in a 3U footprint. Buyers who require GPU acceleration or more than eight drive bays should look at alternative platforms. The four-socket design and 6 TB maximum memory support virtualisation, in-memory databases and heavy multi-threaded applications.

Eight-bay 2.5-inch SATA SSD storage

Eight 800 GB enterprise SATA SSDs connect through the PERC H730P controller, which supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. The 2.5-inch bay layout limits raw capacity compared with larger drive formats, so capacity-focused buyers may need external enclosures.

Questions about this item

How often do the 800 GB SATA SSDs or the PERC H730P controller battery need replacement?

The eight 800 GB SATA SSDs are enterprise drives rated for heavy write workloads; the PERC H730P includes a battery-backed cache that typically lasts several years before requiring a battery swap.

Which component hits its limit first when all 4 Xeon 8160 CPUs run at 2.1 GHz continuously?

The four 24-core Xeon 8160 processors share the Intel C620 chipset and 1600 W redundant power supplies; sustained full-load operation will reach the thermal design envelope of the 3U chassis before the CPUs throttle.

What noise and heat levels should be expected when the dual 1600 W PSUs and all four CPUs operate around the clock?

Dual 1600 W platinum PSUs and four 24-core Xeons generate significant heat; the 3U rackmount relies on high-speed internal fans that produce datacentre-grade noise levels unsuitable for office environments.
