Four-socket Xeon Gold 5118 server

This Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack system with four Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors, each running at 2.3 GHz with 12 cores. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 ECC memory across 24 modules and a PERC H730P RAID controller with battery backup. Two 400 GB SATA SSDs and a quad-port network daughter card are installed. Redundant 1600 W platinum power supplies and rails are included.

Suits memory-heavy workloads, not expansion builds

The server targets databases, virtualisation hosts and analytics that benefit from 48 cores and a large memory footprint. Organisations needing more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays or a different drive interface should look elsewhere. Buyers who require GPU acceleration or single-thread optimisation will not find it here. The fixed four-socket design also limits future CPU upgrades.

768 GB DDR4 decides fit

The installed 768 GB of registered ECC DDR4 across 24 slots determines whether this system meets the workload’s memory requirement. The platform supports up to 6 TB total, so the configuration can grow if the application demands more capacity. Verify the application’s minimum and recommended memory against this starting figure before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will the H730P controller and 2.5" drive bays accept my existing 2.5" SATA SSDs?

The PERC H730P supports SAS and SATA drives, and the server has eight 2.5" bays, so your 2.5" SATA SSDs will fit and be recognised.

How can I verify the four Xeon Gold 5118 processors and 768GB of DDR4 are all detected after installation?

During POST the BIOS will list each of the four 12-core CPUs and show 768GB total memory; iDRAC9 Enterprise also reports the full inventory in its System Overview page.

Does the shipment include SFP+ modules for the X520 10GbE ports and the rails for rack mounting?

The box contains the server, two 1600W PSUs, ready rails, front bezel and the X520/I350 daughter card; SFP+ transceivers are not included and must be purchased separately.
