CPU Model Gold 6130

  • Four-socket Xeon Gold 6130 processors deliver 64 total cores for heavy compute workloads
  • 512GB DDR4 2666MHz registered ECC memory supports large in-memory databases and virtualisation
  • PERC H730P 2GB controller enables RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 with battery-backed cache
  • Dual 800GB SATA SSDs provide fast boot and application storage in hot-swap bays
  • iDRAC9 Enterprise plus X520/I350 quad-port networking gives remote management and 10Gb SFP+ connectivity

Mission-Critical 3U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack server built for mission-critical workloads that demand maximum compute density. Four Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors deliver 64 total cores at a 2.1 GHz base frequency with 3.7 GHz turbo capability. The system ships with 512 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 16 DIMM slots, leaving 32 slots open for future expansion up to 6 TB.

Scale-Up Replacement for Dual-Socket Limits

This platform replaces dual-socket servers when workloads outgrow two-processor scaling limits. The four-socket architecture with Intel C620 chipset supports the full 4-processor maximum, making the jump worthwhile for in-memory databases, virtualization clusters, and real-time analytics that need shared-memory performance across 64 cores. The PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache enables RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60 configurations across eight 2.5-inch drive bays.

Sustained Load Thermal and Power Stability

Redundant 1600-watt platinum-efficiency power supplies maintain continuous operation under full CPU and memory load without throttling. The 3U form factor provides airflow headroom for sustained turbo frequencies across all four processors during extended compute runs. iDRAC9 Enterprise enables remote monitoring of thermal margins, power draw, and component health without OS dependency, while the X520/I350 network daughter card provides two 10 Gb SFP+ and two 1 GbE ports for persistent cluster connectivity.

Questions about this item

Does the R940 require a standard rack opening for its 3U height and included rails?

The R940 is a 3U rack server that ships with ready rails and a front bezel for mounting in a standard rack enclosure.

What is the correct order for installing the four Xeon Gold 6130 processors and 512GB of DDR4 memory?

Populate the four LGA 3647 sockets with the Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs first, then fill the 48 DDR4 slots with the 16 registered ECC modules to reach 512GB.

When will the PERC H730P controller battery and the two 800GB SATA SSDs need replacement?

The H730P battery typically lasts several years before requiring a swap, while the 800GB SATA SSDs should be monitored for wear and replaced as their endurance limits are reached.
