DELL PowerEdge R930 4U Rack Server 4x Xeon E7-8891 v4 2.8GHz 10-Core 768GB DDR4 24x 600GB SAS

Four-Socket Xeon Server

The Dell PowerEdge R930 is a 4U rack server equipped with four Intel Xeon E7-8891 v4 processors, each running at 2.8 GHz with 10 cores. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 48 modules. The system targets enterprises that need maximum compute density and memory capacity for in-memory databases, virtualisation clusters, or ERP workloads in a single chassis.

24-Bay Storage and Quad Networking

Twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays hold 600 GB 10K SAS disks behind a PERC H330 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 and 50. A quad-port daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections for flexible LAN and storage networking. Four hot-plug 1100 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise provide redundant power and full remote lifecycle management. Rails and a front bezel are included for immediate rack installation.

Scales Beyond Two-Socket Limits

This configuration replaces dual-socket servers when core count, memory slots or internal drive bays become bottlenecks. The jump is worth it for workloads that exceed two-processor NUMA boundaries or require more than 96 DIMM slots for 12 TB maximum memory. Buyers who need only a single socket, fewer drive bays, or GPU-accelerated compute should evaluate smaller platforms instead.
