Four-socket Xeon Gold 6148 server for dense compute

This new Dell PowerEdge R940 packs four Intel Xeon Gold 6148 processors at 2.40 GHz, each with 20 cores, into a 3U rack chassis. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 16 DIMMs and a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache driving eight 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives. Dual 1600 W platinum power supplies, iDRAC 9 Enterprise and a quad-port 1 GbE / 10 GbE SFP+ daughter card complete the package.

Suited for memory-heavy workloads in a compact

Organisations running large in-memory databases, virtualisation clusters or analytics jobs that demand high core counts and 512 GB RAM within 3U will match this configuration. Buyers who need more than 512 GB of installed memory, more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays, or GPU-accelerated compute should evaluate alternative chassis designs.

Four physical CPUs installed at the socket limit

The system arrives with the maximum of four Xeon Gold 6148 processors already seated in its four LGA 3647 sockets, so no further CPU upgrades are possible. This fixed processor count is the decisive specification when planning licensing, throughput scaling or future expansion.

Questions about this item

What type of memory modules must already be installed to reach the 512 GB capacity?

The system uses sixteen 32 GB DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC DIMMs to provide the 512 GB total.

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

Yes, the H730P supports both 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA devices in the same 2.5 inch bays.

How do I confirm the iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management is active after first boot?

Open a browser to the iDRAC IP shown on the front LCD panel and log in with the default credentials.
