Mission-Critical 4-Socket Server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack server built for heavy-duty enterprise workloads. 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 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 48 slots and supports up to 6 TB maximum capacity. An eight-bay 2.5-inch chassis houses 2.4 TB SAS drives managed by a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache.

Virtualisation Hosts vs GPU Workloads

This configuration suits organisations running large virtualised environments, in-memory databases or high-transaction applications that benefit from four-socket scaling and redundant 1600 W platinum power supplies. The quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections for flexible fabric integration. Buyers who need GPU compute density or all-flash arrays should evaluate alternative platforms, as this unit focuses on CPU-centric throughput and SAS storage.

Four-Socket Ceiling

The R940 reaches its processor limit with the four installed Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs, so no further socket upgrades are possible. Memory expansion remains open through 40 vacant DDR4 slots up to the 6 TB ceiling. Storage growth is constrained to the eight 2.5-inch bays and the H730P controller’s SAS/SATA RAID feature set. iDRAC9 Enterprise enables full remote lifecycle management for distributed deployments.

Questions about this item

What rack depth do the included rails support for this 3U server?

The Ready Rails kit included with the R940 supports standard four-post racks with adjustable depth, securing the 3U chassis without tools.

How are the four Xeon Gold 6130 processors installed, and what step is often missed?

Each CPU seats into an LGA 3647 socket; the common error is not fully tightening the torque screws in the prescribed diagonal sequence.

When will the PERC H730P RAID controller battery need replacement?

The 2 GB cache battery typically lasts three to five years; iDRAC 9 Enterprise will alert you when the charge capacity drops below threshold.
