CPU Model Gold 5118

  • Four-socket Xeon Gold 5118 processors deliver 48 cores for heavy workloads
  • 512GB DDR4 registered ECC memory supports large in-memory databases
  • Eight 400GB SATA SSDs on a PERC H730P controller provide hardware RAID flexibility
  • Dual 10Gb SFP+ and dual 1GbE ports enable high-speed network connectivity
  • iDRAC9 Enterprise with redundant 1600W power supplies ensures remote management and uptime

Mission-critical 4-socket server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack server built for workloads that demand four Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors, each running at 2.30 GHz with 12 cores. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 16 modules and includes a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache. Eight 400 GB SATA SSDs provide the primary storage pool. Redundant 1600 W platinum power supplies, iDRAC9 Enterprise, and a quad-port 1 GbE and 10 Gb SFP+ network daughter card complete the platform.

Database and virtualisation teams needing maximum

This system suits organisations that require the full four-socket capacity of the Intel C620 chipset and can populate up to 48 DIMM slots for a 6 TB memory ceiling. It is not for buyers who need GPU acceleration, workloads that favour higher single-core frequencies, or configurations that exceed the eight 2.5-inch drive bays provided. Teams wanting more than 512 GB of memory out of the box or a different drive interface should evaluate alternative platforms.

512 GB DDR4 registered ECC memory installed

The server arrives with 512 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory installed in 16 of the 48 available slots, leaving headroom to scale toward the 6 TB maximum. This specification determines whether the immediate capacity matches the application footprint or whether additional modules must be procured before deployment.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the four Xeon Gold 5118 processors are all detected after installation?

Check the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface or system BIOS; it will show four CPUs, each with 12 cores running at 2.3 GHz base and 3.2 GHz turbo.

What ships with the server and what must I supply myself?

The box includes the 3U chassis, four processors, 16 memory modules totalling 512 GB DDR4, eight 400 GB SATA SSDs, PERC H730P controller, X520/I350 network card, two 1600 W PSUs, bezel and rails. No additional parts are required for basic operation.

Which memory configuration should I choose if I want to expand beyond the installed 512 GB?

The system has 48 DDR4 slots and supports up to 6 TB; add registered ECC DDR4 modules in matched sets to keep all memory channels balanced.
