Four-socket Xeon server for mission-critical

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack server fitted with four Intel Xeon Gold 5120 processors, each running at 2.2 GHz with 14 cores. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 48 slots. The system targets organisations that need high core density and large memory capacity in a compact rack footprint.

Tool-less rails and hot-swap components simplify

Ready Rails and a front bezel are included for quick rack mounting. Dual 1600 W hot-swap power supplies provide redundancy without downtime. The PERC H730P controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. A common oversight is forgetting to populate all four CPU sockets for balanced memory-channel performance.

Verify rack depth, power feeds

The chassis accepts 2.5-inch SAS drives in eight bays; only two 300 GB 10 K drives are installed. Two 1600 W PSUs require compatible PDU outlets. The X520/I350 daughter card delivers two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports — ensure your top-of-rack switches have matching transceivers. iDRAC 9 Enterprise needs a dedicated management network segment.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the four Xeon Gold 5120 processors are all recognised after installation?

The system BIOS and iDRAC9 Enterprise will display four CPUs, each with 14 cores running at 2.2 GHz base and 3.2 GHz turbo.

Which components ship with the R940 and which must I source separately?

Included are 4 CPUs, 256 GB DDR4 (8 × 32 GB), H730P controller, 2 × 300 GB SAS drives, X520/I350 quad-port card, iDRAC9 Enterprise, 2 × 1600 W PSUs, rails and bezel; additional drives or memory are extra.

Should I choose the 256 GB DDR4 configuration or plan for the 6 TB maximum?

The 256 GB (8 × 32 GB) kit fills 8 of 48 slots; select it for immediate use, or add modules later up to the 6 TB DDR4 limit.
