Four-socket Xeon Platinum 8160 platform

This new Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack server equipped with four Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 24 cores. It includes 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 48 slots and a PERC H730P controller managing eight 800 GB SATA SSDs.

Suited for virtualisation and in-memory workloads

The four-socket design and large memory capacity support dense virtualisation, database caching and high-thread-count applications. Dual 1600 W redundant power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise aid uptime. Buyers needing GPU acceleration or more than eight internal drives should evaluate other platforms.

PERC H730P RAID controller with battery-backed cache

The installed H730P provides 2 GB of non-volatile cache and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. This single component determines the storage redundancy and performance profile available to the operating system.

Questions about this item

How do I install the PERC H730P controller and its battery, and which step is often missed?

Seat the H730P in the dedicated internal slot, connect the 8 SATA SSDs to its ports, then attach the battery pack to the controller header; the step often missed is securing the battery cable before closing the chassis.

What maintenance or replacement will the H730P battery and the four 8160 processors need later?

The H730P battery typically requires replacement every few years to preserve write-back cache; the four Xeon 8160 CPUs are socketed in LGA 3647 and can be swapped individually if a core fails.

What limit appears first when all four 2.1 GHz 24-core Xeons run at 3.7 GHz turbo under sustained load?

The dual 1600 W platinum power supplies set the first ceiling; combined CPU package power at max turbo can approach the 1600 W budget, causing throttling before thermal limits are reached.
