DELL PowerEdge R930 4U Rack Server 4x Xeon E7-8891 v4 2.8GHz 10C 3TB DDR4 24x 1.8TB SAS

Mission-critical compute density

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 and a 3.5 GHz turbo frequency. It ships with 3 TB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across 96 slots, expandable to 12 TB. The chassis holds 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch drive bays populated with 1.8 TB 10K SAS drives and a PERC H330 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, and 50.

Sustained enterprise throughput

Four 1100 W 80+ Platinum power supplies provide redundant power for continuous operation under full CPU, memory, and storage load. The Intel X520/I350 daughter card delivers two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports for high-bandwidth data movement. iDRAC 8 Enterprise enables remote monitoring, firmware updates, and power cycling without physical access, keeping the platform manageable during extended production runs.

Consolidation upgrade path

This configuration replaces multiple smaller servers by combining 40 total cores, massive memory capacity, and dense local storage in a single 4U footprint. It suits organisations running in-memory databases, virtualisation clusters, or ERP workloads that exceed the limits of two-socket platforms. Buyers who need more than four processors or NVMe acceleration should evaluate alternative architectures.
