Four-socket Xeon Gold 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 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 48 available slots and a PERC H730P controller managing eight 600 GB 10K SAS drives. Dual 1600 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management complete the mission-critical package.

Suits dense virtualisation and database clusters

Organisations consolidating heavy virtualisation, in-memory databases or real-time analytics workloads into a single 3U chassis will benefit from the 64 physical cores and 6 TB maximum memory ceiling. The eight 2.5-inch SAS bays and quad-port 1 GbE plus dual 10 GbE SFP+ networking fit typical rack-density requirements. Buyers who need more than eight drive bays or who require GPU acceleration should evaluate alternative platforms.

6 TB maximum DDR4 capacity

The platform supports up to 6 TB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 48 DIMM slots, making total memory capacity the decisive specification for large-scale virtualisation or in-memory workloads. Current configuration provides 64 GB, leaving substantial headroom for future expansion within the same chassis.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the R940 get when all four Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs run at 2.1GHz continuously?

The server uses redundant 1600W platinum power supplies and Dell's thermal design for 3U density; actual acoustic and thermal output depends on workload and ambient temperature.

Which cables and transceivers do I need to use the X520/I350 network daughter card's two 10Gb SFP+ ports?

The card provides two 10Gb SFP+ cages; you must supply compatible SFP+ transceivers or direct-attach cables for fibre or copper links.

Can the PERC H730P controller manage the existing 600GB 10K SAS drives together with larger SAS or SATA drives I add later?

Yes, the H730P supports SAS and SATA drives in RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60, so you can mix capacities and speeds within the same array.
