Mission-critical compute density

The Dell PowerEdge R940 packs four Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors, each with 16 cores at 2.1 GHz and a 3.7 GHz turbo, into a 3U rack chassis. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules. The system targets organisations running large databases, virtualisation clusters or in-memory analytics that need maximum core count in minimal rack space.

Scale-up replacement for dual-socket limits

When a two-socket server hits its processor or memory ceiling, this four-socket design adds headroom without a cluster rewrite. The Intel C620 chipset supports the full complement of four CPUs and up to 6 TB of DDR4 across 48 slots. The jump is worth it when licensing, latency or data-locality favour a single large node over multiple smaller ones.

Memory and storage headroom

Eight 2.5-inch SAS/SATA drive bays connect to a PERC H730P 2 GB controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through. The 256 GB installed memory handles substantial working sets, while the 48 DIMM slots allow growth to 6 TB for the largest in-memory workloads. Networks attach through a quad-port daughter card with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links.

Questions about this item

What rack size and height does the 3U PowerEdge R940 require?

The server occupies 3U of vertical space in a standard rack and ships with Ready Rails for mounting.

How are the four Xeon Gold 6130 processors installed, and what step is often missed?

Each processor seats in an LGA 3647 socket; the common mistake is not applying thermal paste evenly before locking the heat sinks.

When will the PERC H730P controller battery need replacement?

The 2GB RAID controller uses a battery-backed cache that typically requires a new battery after three to five years of continuous operation.
