Purpose-built 3U compute node

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 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 48 slots and eight 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives managed by a PERC H730P controller. Dual 1600 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise provide redundancy and remote management in a single chassis.

Who this suits and who it does not

Organisations running memory-intensive databases, virtualisation clusters or analytics workloads that benefit from four-socket scaling and large DDR4 capacity will find the configuration ready to deploy. Buyers who need more than eight internal drive bays, GPU-accelerated compute or a smaller rack footprint should evaluate other platforms that match those requirements.

Deciding specification — four-socket Xeon Gold 6130

The presence of four installed Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs defines the server's peak thread count and memory-channel bandwidth, setting the hard ceiling for parallel workloads. If the target application cannot utilise all 64 cores or requires a different socket generation, this specific build will not be the right fit.

Questions about this item

What rack space and power circuits must I already have to install the 3U R940 with dual 1600 W PSUs?

The server occupies 3U of rack height and requires two separate power circuits for the redundant 1600 W platinum-efficiency supplies; rails and bezel are included for mounting.

Can the PERC H730P controller manage the existing 1.2 TB SAS drives together with older SATA drives I want to keep?

Yes, the H730P supports mixed SAS and SATA drives and RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, so legacy SATA disks can join the same array.

How do I confirm the four Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs and 256 GB DDR4 are recognised after first boot?

Open the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface or the BIOS POST screen; both will show four 16-core processors at 2.1 GHz and 256 GB of registered ECC memory.
