Four-socket 3U rack server for database

The Dell PowerEdge R940 packs four Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores each, giving 64 cores total. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730P controller driving two 300 GB 10K SAS drives in eight 2.5-inch bays. iDRAC9 Enterprise and quad-port 1/10 GbE networking come standard.

Suits memory-heavy workloads; not for GPU compute

This configuration targets organisations running large databases, ERP suites or dense virtualisation clusters that benefit from the 6 TB maximum memory capacity and four-socket scalability. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or more than eight drive bays should evaluate alternative platforms. The 1600 W redundant platinum power supplies support the installed components.

6 TB DDR4 ceiling decides fit

The Intel C620 chipset and 48 DIMM slots set a 6 TB memory limit using DDR4 registered ECC modules. If the application requires more than 6 TB of RAM, this server cannot meet the requirement and a different architecture is needed.

Questions about this item

Does the Dell PowerEdge R940 ship with any drives installed, or do I need to purchase SAS drives separately?

Two Dell Enterprise 300GB 10K SAS 12Gb/s 2.5" hard drives are included; the 8-bay chassis accepts additional SAS or SATA drives that must be bought separately.

The server has four Xeon Gold 6130 processors — is that the maximum CPU configuration for this model?

Yes, the R940 supports a maximum of four processors and this unit already has all four sockets populated with 16-core Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs.

With 768GB of DDR4 2666MHz memory installed, how much more RAM can I add later?

The system uses 24 of 48 DIMM slots for the current 768GB (24x 32GB), leaving 24 slots free to reach the 6TB maximum capacity.
