Four-socket Xeon Gold 6148 server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack server populated with four Intel Xeon Gold 6148 processors, each running at 2.4 GHz with 20 cores. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 16 GB modules and includes a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache. Eight 600 GB 10K SAS drives and a quad-port X520/I350 network daughter card are installed.

Suited for dense virtualisation

This configuration targets organisations that need maximum core count and memory capacity in a 3U footprint, supported by redundant 1600 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise management. Buyers who require solid-state storage or more than eight internal drive bays should evaluate alternative platforms.

Eight-bay 2.5-inch SAS backplane

The chassis provides eight hot-swap 2.5-inch SAS bays wired to the H730P controller, which supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through. Expansion beyond these eight bays is not possible in this unit.

Questions about this item

How often will the H730P controller's battery-backed cache need replacement?

The PERC H730P includes a 2 GB battery-backed cache module; the battery typically lasts several years and is user-replaceable when it reaches end of life.

What thermal limit will the four Xeon Gold 6148 processors hit first during sustained heavy workloads?

Each 20-core CPU runs at 2.4 GHz base and can turbo to 3.7 GHz; under continuous load the package power limit is the first constraint that reduces clock speeds.

How much heat and noise do the dual 1600 W platinum power supplies produce when the server runs all day?

Redundant 1600 W platinum-efficiency PSUs convert AC with minimal loss, so waste heat and fan noise stay lower than with standard-efficiency units.
