Four-socket Xeon Platinum 8160 server

The PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack system built around four Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 24 cores. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 48 slots and includes a PERC H730P controller with battery-backed cache. Dual 1600 W platinum power supplies, iDRAC9 Enterprise, quad-port networking and rails are factory-installed.

Memory capacity and storage headroom

The platform supports up to 6 TB of DDR4 across 48 DIMM slots, leaving substantial room beyond the 128 GB installed. Eight 300 GB 10K SAS drives occupy the 2.5-inch bays and the H730P handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Workloads needing larger capacity or all-flash arrays will require additional drives or a different chassis.

LGA 3647 socket constraint

The board uses the LGA 3647 socket paired with the Intel C620 chipset, limiting processor upgrades to the same socket generation. Buyers planning future CPU changes must select compatible Xeon Scalable parts; other socket families will not fit.

Questions about this item

Will the four Xeon Platinum 8160 CPUs at 2.1 GHz work with my existing DDR4 2666 MHz ECC memory?

Yes, the server uses DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory and has 48 slots supporting up to 6 TB, so your current modules are compatible.

How can I verify the PERC H730P controller and all eight 300 GB SAS drives are healthy after installation?

Check the controller BIOS during boot, use the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface for drive status and RAID health, and monitor the H730P battery indicator.

Does the box include SFP+ modules for the 10 GbE ports on the X520/I350 card, or must I buy them separately?

The server ships with the quad-port X520/I350 daughter card, two 1600 W PSUs, rails and bezel; SFP+ transceivers are not included and must be purchased separately.
