Dell PowerEdge R940 3U server

This 3U rack-mount server ships with four Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors running at 2.1 GHz with 24 cores each. It includes 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots. A PERC H730P controller manages eight 300 GB 10K SAS drives in 2.5-inch bays. Dual 1600 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management come standard.

Suited for databases and virtualisation hosts

Organisations running memory-intensive workloads such as large SQL instances or dense VM clusters will benefit from the 48-core total and 768 GB capacity. Buyers who need more than 6 TB of RAM or more than four sockets should evaluate other platforms. Sites requiring solid-state storage from the factory or a different drive-count configuration will need a custom build.

Four-socket Xeon Platinum 8160 configuration

The server is populated with the maximum of four CPUs, each delivering 24 cores at 2.1 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo. This socket count fixes the upper limit for both compute threads and memory channels at 48 slots supporting up to 6 TB. Any expansion plan must start from this fully populated baseline.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 4 Xeon 8160 processors into the LGA 3647 sockets, and what step is most often missed?

Align each processor using the socket keys, lower the load plate gently, and torque the four captive screws in a diagonal sequence; the step most often missed is applying the pre-installed thermal interface material evenly across all 24 cores before seating the heatsink.

Which components will need replacement first — the H730P controller battery or the 300 GB SAS drives — and how can I tell?

The H730P 2 GB controller battery typically lasts 3 to 5 years; iDRAC 9 Enterprise will log a battery-learn cycle failure when it degrades, while the 10 K SAS drives report SMART reallocated-sector counts that rise before outright failure.

What power limit appears first when all 4 processors run at 3.7 GHz turbo under sustained load?

The dual 1600 W platinum power supplies share the load; if total draw approaches the 1600 W per supply rating, the firmware throttles CPU clocks before thermal limits are reached.
