Dell PowerEdge R940 3U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rackmount server system built for enterprise workloads. It ships with four Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors, each running at 2.3 GHz with 12 cores. The system includes 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 modules. Eight 600 GB 10K SAS drives and a PERC H730P controller provide the primary storage foundation.

Suited for multi-socket database

This configuration suits organisations running memory-intensive databases, large-scale virtualisation, or in-memory analytics that benefit from four sockets and 48 DIMM slots. The quad-port 1GbE and 10Gb SFP+ networking supports high-throughput east-west traffic. Buyers who need more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays or a different drive interface should evaluate other platforms. The fixed four-processor maximum also limits future horizontal scaling within the chassis.

768 GB DDR4 across 48 slots defines memory capacity

The installed 768 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory occupies 24 of the 48 available slots, leaving room to reach the 6 TB maximum. This headroom is the critical specification for workloads that grow beyond the shipped configuration. The LGA 3647 socket and Intel C620 chipset support the four Xeon Gold 5118 CPUs already installed.
