Dell PowerEdge R940 3U server

This Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack server built for compute-heavy workloads. Four Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors provide 64 total cores at 2.1 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo. 128 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory is installed across 48 slots. The system includes a PERC H730P 2 GB controller, quad-port networking, iDRAC9 Enterprise and dual 1600 W platinum power supplies.

Ideal for multi-socket database

Organisations running large databases, in-memory analytics or dense virtualisation benefit from the four-socket design and 6 TB maximum memory capacity. Eight 2.5-inch SAS/SATA trays support high-capacity hard drives or SSDs. Buyers who need more than eight internal drive bays or a smaller 1U or 2U form factor should consider other platforms. Workloads that rely on a single-threaded performance ceiling above 3.7 GHz will not gain from additional frequency headroom.

PERC H730P RAID controller with 2 GB cache

The integrated Dell PERC H730P controller delivers 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA connectivity and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Its 2 GB non-volatile cache protects writes during power loss. This specification determines whether the server can meet your redundancy and throughput requirements for the installed drive bays.

Questions about this item

What does the 2.1 GHz base speed with 3.7 GHz turbo mean for sustained workloads on all 64 cores?

Each of the four Xeon Gold 6130 processors runs at 2.1 GHz base and can boost to 3.7 GHz, giving 64 total cores for parallel tasks.

How does the 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller limit drive throughput in this 8-bay chassis?

The PERC H730P supports 12 Gb/s SAS and 6 Gb/s SATA; with eight 2.5-inch bays the backplane caps aggregate bandwidth at the controller limit.

What clearance and power connections does the 3U unit need for rack installation?

The server occupies 3U height, ships with ready rails and bezel, and requires two 1600 W platinum power supplies fed from redundant PDU circuits.
