Four-socket Xeon Gold 5118 server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack server built around four Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors running at 2.3 GHz with twelve cores each. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across forty-eight slots and a PERC H730P controller driving eight 800 GB SATA SSDs. Redundant 1600 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise remote management complete the platform.

Suits dense compute workloads.

This configuration fits organisations that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a compact 3U form factor for virtualisation, database or analytics tasks. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, additional drive bays beyond the eight 2.5-inch slots or a different storage interface should evaluate other platforms.

LGA 3647 socket locks processor choice

The server uses the LGA 3647 socket, which only accepts compatible Xeon Scalable processors; the installed Gold 5118 units cannot be swapped for parts using a different socket. Any future CPU upgrade must match this socket and the Intel C620 chipset.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and what must be purchased separately?

The server ships with four Xeon Gold 5118 processors, 256 GB DDR4 memory, eight 800 GB SATA SSDs, a PERC H730P controller, a quad-port network daughter card, iDRAC9 Enterprise, two 1600 W platinum power supplies, sliding rails and a front bezel. Extra drives, memory modules or SFP+ transceivers are not included.

Should I pick the 800 GB SSDs or add larger drives later?

The eight bays are filled with 800 GB SATA SSDs on a PERC H730P controller that supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. If capacity matters more than the current all-flash layout, you can replace or add 2.5" SATA drives up to the controller limit.

What does the 3.2 GHz turbo figure mean in daily use?

Each 12-core Xeon Gold 5118 can lift from its 2.3 GHz base to 3.2 GHz turbo when thermal headroom allows, giving short bursts of higher single-thread speed for database indexes or compile jobs before returning to base clock.
