3U Four-Socket Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack server equipped with four Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors. Each CPU runs at 2.1 GHz with 24 cores and a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. The system ships with 256 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules. A PERC H730P controller manages eight 600 GB 10K SAS drives in 2.5-inch bays.

Suited For Multi-Threaded Workloads

This server suits environments that demand high core counts and large memory capacity in a compact 3U form factor. Redundant 1600 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise remote management support continuous operation. Buyers who require solid-state storage or more than eight drive bays should evaluate alternative configurations.

48 DDR4 Slots To 6 TB Maximum

The platform provides 48 DDR4 DIMM slots with a maximum supported capacity of 6 TB. Only DDR4 registered ECC modules are compatible; other memory generations will not fit. Current population uses eight slots, leaving 40 slots available for future expansion.

Questions about this item

How much heat and power will the dual 1600 W PSUs and four 24-core Xeon Platinum 8160 CPUs generate in 24/7 operation?

The server uses redundant 1600 W Platinum-efficiency power supplies and four Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors, each with 24 cores at 2.1 GHz and a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency.

What rack, rails and cabling must I already have to install this 3U server?

Ready Rails and a front bezel are included. You need a standard 3U rack space, power connections for two 1600 W supplies, and network cabling for the quad-port 1 GbE and 10 Gb SFP+ daughter card.

Will my existing SAS drives and DDR4 memory work with the PERC H730P controller and 48 DIMM slots?

The PERC H730P supports SAS and SATA drives with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through. The system has 48 DDR4 slots, currently populated with 256 GB of 2666 MHz registered ECC modules.
