DELL PowerEdge R930 4U rack server 4× Xeon E7-8890 v4 2.2GHz 24-core 3TB DDR4 4× 960GB SSD H730P

Mission-critical compute density

The Dell PowerEdge R930 is a 4U rack server equipped with four Intel Xeon E7-8890 v4 processors, each running at 2.2 GHz with 24 cores and a 3.4 GHz turbo frequency. The system ships with 3 TB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across 96 DIMM slots, expandable to 12 TB. It targets enterprises running in-memory databases, large-scale virtualization, and analytics workloads that demand maximum core count and memory capacity in a single chassis.

Sustained multi-socket throughput

Under continuous load the four-socket configuration maintains all 96 cores at base frequency thanks to the 1100 W platinum power supplies and the server’s thermal design. The PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache manages RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across the four installed 960 GB SATA SSDs, delivering consistent I/O for OLTP and data-warehousing tasks. The X520/I350 daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 GbE SFP+ links for steady network throughput during prolonged jobs.

Thermals, acoustics and power profile

Four hot-plug 1100 W 80+ Platinum PSUs share the load, keeping each unit in its high-efficiency range during normal operation. The 4U form factor allows generous airflow paths so fans run at lower speeds than in denser chassis, reducing acoustic output in the data centre aisle. iDRAC 8 Enterprise monitors thermal sensors and power draw in real time, enabling proactive throttling or alerts before temperatures approach limits.
