Four-socket 3U server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack server populated with four Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors, each running at 2.3 GHz with 12 cores. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 48 available slots and a PERC H730P 2 GB storage controller. Eight 300 GB 10K SAS drives fill the 2.5-inch bays, while an Intel X520/I350 daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports. Dual 1600 W platinum power supplies, iDRAC 9 Enterprise, rails and a front bezel complete the package.

Suited for dense compute.

This system suits organisations that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a compact 3U form factor for virtualisation, database or analytics workloads. Buyers who require more than eight drive bays should look elsewhere, as the chassis is limited to eight 2.5-inch slots. Environments that depend on a different memory technology or a single-socket platform will also need a different server.

PERC H730P RAID controller with battery-backed cache

The installed PERC H730P controller delivers 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity with a 2 GB battery-backed cache, supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. This specification determines whether the storage performance and data-protection features match the application requirements.

Questions about this item

What rack height does the R940 occupy and what mounting hardware is included?

The R940 is a 3U rack server and ships with Ready Rails and a front bezel for mounting in a standard rack enclosure.

How are the four Xeon Gold 5118 processors installed, and what step is often missed?

All four sockets are populated at the factory; the step users miss is confirming the LGA 3647 socket alignment and applying even pressure when reseating any processor after maintenance.

Which components will need replacement first in the R940?

The eight 300 GB 10K SAS drives and the PERC H730P controller battery are the parts most likely to require replacement during the server's service life.
