Four-Socket 3U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack server populated with four Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 48 available slots and a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache. Eight 400 GB SATA SSDs fill the front 2.5-inch bays, and dual 1600 W platinum power supplies provide redundancy.

Suited For And Not For

This system suits organisations that run memory-intensive databases, virtualisation clusters or analytics workloads requiring up to 6 TB of DDR4 capacity. The quad-port network daughter card delivers two 1 GbE and two 10 GbE SFP+ connections for flexible fabric integration. Buyers who need more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays or a different storage controller should evaluate other platforms.

Deciding Specification

The installed PERC H730P controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode, backed by a battery-protected 2 GB cache. This determines which drive configurations and data-protection schemes are available immediately. Confirm that the RAID levels and SATA/SAS connectivity match the intended storage topology before purchase.

Questions about this item

When will the eight 400 GB SSDs or the PERC H730P controller battery need replacement?

The eight 400 GB SATA SSDs are enterprise grade; the PERC H730P includes a battery backed cache module that typically lasts several years before requiring service.

Which resource hits its ceiling first when all four Xeon Gold 6130 processors run at 2.1 GHz continuously?

With 128 GB across 48 DDR4 slots and only eight 400 GB drives installed, storage capacity or memory bandwidth will saturate before the 16 core CPUs reach their thermal limit.

How much heat and fan noise do the redundant 1600 W power supplies add during all day operation?

Dual 1600 W platinum supplies share the load efficiently; the 3U chassis uses variable speed fans that ramp only when inlet temperature rises, keeping acoustic output low for a rack server.
