Dell PowerEdge R940 3U server for dense compute

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rackmount server built for heavy workloads. It carries four Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors, each with twelve cores at 2.3 GHz. Sixty-four gigabytes of DDR4 memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller support demanding applications.

Suits virtualization hosts and database clusters.

This configuration fits buyers who need high core counts and redundant power in a compact chassis. The quad 10 Gb and dual 1 Gb network ports serve virtualization and database clusters well. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or more than eight drive bays should look elsewhere.

Four-socket Xeon Gold 5118 with 48 memory slots

The server reaches its maximum of four processors with the installed Xeon Gold 5118 CPUs. Forty-eight DDR4 slots allow expansion up to 6 TB of registered ECC memory. This processor-and-memory ceiling determines whether the platform matches the workload.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and what must I purchase separately?

The server ships with four Xeon Gold 5118 processors, 64 GB DDR4-2400 registered ECC memory, a PERC H730P 2 GB controller, two 800 GB SATA SSDs, an X520/I350 quad-port network card, iDRAC9 Enterprise, two 1600 W platinum power supplies, rails and a bezel. Additional drives or memory are not included.

Should I choose a different processor count or memory capacity for this R940?

This unit already has the maximum four processors installed and 64 GB across 48 DDR4 slots, leaving room to expand up to 6 TB. Select a higher-capacity configuration only if your workload needs more memory or storage out of the box.

What does the 2.3 GHz base clock mean for real-world performance?

Each of the 48 cores runs at 2.3 GHz base and can turbo to 3.2 GHz, delivering strong multi-threaded throughput for virtualization, databases and analytics when paired with the 12 Gb/s H730P controller and quad-port 1/10 GbE networking.
