PowerEdge R940 3U 4-Socket Server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack-mount server that delivers four-socket performance in a compact chassis. It ships with four Intel Xeon Gold 5120 processors, each running at 2.2 GHz with 14 cores. The system includes 768 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 modules. A PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache manages the eight 2.5-inch SAS/SATA drive bays.

Suited for dense compute workloads

This configuration suits organisations that run memory-intensive databases, virtualisation hosts or analytics platforms requiring high core counts and large RAM capacity in minimal rack space. The quad-processor design and 48 DIMM slots support expansion up to 6 TB of DDR4. Buyers who need fewer than four CPUs or a tower form factor should consider alternative platforms.

PERC H730P RAID controller

The installed Dell PERC H730P 2 GB controller provides 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA connectivity with battery-backed cache. It supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode for software-defined storage. This single component determines whether the storage architecture matches your redundancy and performance requirements.

Questions about this item

What hard drives must I supply to use the eight 2.5-inch SAS/SATA trays?

You need to provide your own 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives; the eight trays ship empty and the PERC H730P controller supports both interfaces.

Will my existing DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC modules work alongside the 24 installed 32 GB sticks?

Yes, the server has 48 DDR4 slots total and 24 are already populated with 32 GB modules, leaving 24 free slots for compatible registered ECC memory.

How can I verify the PERC H730P controller is operating correctly after installation?

During POST the controller initialises and displays its firmware version; you can also check RAID status and battery health through iDRAC9 Enterprise or the controller BIOS utility.
