3U 4-Socket Xeon Server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack-mount server system built around four Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors. Each CPU runs at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores and a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. The system ships with 256 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 48 slots and a Dell PERC H730P RAID controller with 2 GB cache.

Suits dense compute and memory workloads

This configuration suits organisations running virtualisation, in-memory databases or high-thread-count applications that benefit from 64 total cores and a 6 TB maximum memory ceiling. The eight 800 GB SATA SSDs and quad-port 1 GbE plus 10 GbE SFP+ networking support storage-heavy and network-intensive tasks. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, a 1U or 2U chassis, or more than eight drive bays should evaluate other platforms.

Four-socket 3U limit defines scaling ceiling

The R940 reaches its maximum processor count at four sockets in a 3U height, fixing the upper bound for CPU licensing and memory capacity at 6 TB. With 48 DIMM slots already populated to 256 GB, further memory expansion stays within the same chassis. This constraint makes the server a fit-for-purpose choice when the workload fits the four-socket envelope and a larger form factor is not justified.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the four Xeon Gold 6130 processors and 256GB of DDR4 memory are detected after initial power-on?

During POST the system BIOS lists each of the four sockets and the 256GB total across the 48 DIMM slots; iDRAC 9 Enterprise then shows the same inventory in its hardware dashboard.

Which components ship inside the chassis and which items must be sourced separately?

The unit includes the four processors, 256GB DDR4, PERC H730P controller, eight 800GB SATA SSDs, X520/I350 quad-port network daughter card, iDRAC 9 Enterprise, two 1600W power supplies, bezel and rails; operating system licences and any additional drives or memory are not included.

The description mentions a maximum of 6TB memory across 48 slots — how do I decide between adding 32GB or larger DDR4 modules?

Each of the 48 slots accepts DDR4 registered ECC DIMMs; 32GB modules match the factory configuration, while higher-capacity DIMMs let you scale toward the 6TB ceiling in fewer slots.
