Four-Socket Xeon Server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack-mount server system built for heavy multi-threaded workloads. Four Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors deliver 64 total cores at 2.10 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo. 512 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory fills 16 of 48 DIMM slots. The platform targets databases, virtualization and in-memory analytics that demand maximum core count in a compact chassis.

Suits High-Density Compute

This server suits organisations running licensed-per-core software where consolidating onto four sockets reduces licensing costs. The 48 memory slots and 6 TB maximum capacity support large in-memory datasets. Buyers who need GPU acceleration should look elsewhere because the 3U form factor and power budget do not accommodate full-length double-width accelerators. Workloads requiring more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays will need external storage or a different chassis.

PERC H730P RAID Controller

Storage is managed by a Dell PERC H730P 2 GB controller providing 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity with battery-backed cache. It supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode for software-defined storage. Eight hot-swap 2.5-inch trays are included without drives. The controller choice determines which RAID levels and cache policies are available for the installed drives.

Questions about this item

What is the maximum number of processors this R940 can accept?

The server supports up to four processors, and all four sockets are already populated with Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs.

How loud are the fans when the system runs continuously under load?

Fan speed ramps with inlet temperature and CPU load; with four 16-core processors and dual 1600 W power supplies the chassis moves a high volume of air, so expect noticeable rack-level noise.

Which drive trays are included and what drive sizes do they accept?

Eight 2.5-inch SAS/SATA hot-swap trays are fitted; no drives are installed, so you must supply your own 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives.
