Dell PowerEdge R940 3U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack server built for dense compute in a compact form factor. Four Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors deliver 48 cores at 2.3 GHz with 3.2 GHz turbo, suited to virtualisation clusters and database workloads. Sixty-four gigabytes of DDR4 registered ECC memory populate four of forty-eight slots, leaving room for growth to 6 TB.

PERC H730P controller with eight 2.4 TB SAS drives

A Dell PERC H730P 2 GB controller manages eight 2.5-inch 10 K SAS hard drives configured for RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60. Hot-swap drive bays and redundant 1600 W platinum power supplies allow drive or power-module replacement without downtime. Ready Rails and a front bezel are included for standard cabinet mounting.

Quad-port X520/I350 network daughter card

Networking is provided by a daughter card with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports, limiting connectivity to those speeds and media types. The system ships with iDRAC 9 Enterprise for out-of-band management, but maximum memory capacity and processor count are already reached at the factory configuration.

Questions about this item

What SAS speed does the H730P controller cap at with the installed 2.4TB drives?

The PERC H730P runs at 12 Gb/s SAS, so the eight 2.4TB 10K drives operate at that link speed.

What rack hardware is supplied for the 3U chassis?

Ready Rails and a front bezel are included for square-hole or round-hole racks.

How do I seat the four Xeon Gold 5118 processors correctly?

Open the CPU socket levers, align each processor with the LGA 3647 socket keys, lower gently, then close and lock the levers before adding heatsinks.
