DELL PowerEdge R930 4U Rack Server 4× Xeon E7-8867 v4 2.4GHz 16C 384GB DDR4 24× 960GB SSD H730P

Quad-socket Xeon E7-8867 v4 server

The Dell PowerEdge R930 is a 4U rack server built around four Intel Xeon E7-8867 v4 processors. Each CPU provides 16 cores at a base frequency of 2.40 GHz with turbo up to 3.30 GHz. The system ships with 384 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 48 DIMM slots and includes a PERC H730P RAID controller with 2 GB cache. Twenty-four 960 GB SATA SSDs are installed in the 2.5-inch drive bays, and four 1100 W platinum power supplies provide redundant power. Integrated iDRAC8 Enterprise enables remote management.

Suited for memory-intensive enterprise workloads

This configuration targets organisations running large in-memory databases, virtualisation clusters or analytics platforms that benefit from high core counts and expansive memory capacity. The 96 DIMM slots support up to 12 TB of DDR4, allowing significant future expansion. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, front-accessible NVMe storage or a smaller chassis footprint should evaluate alternative platforms because this unit relies on a Matrox G200 graphics controller and populates all 24 bays with SATA SSDs.

Four Xeon E7-8867 v4 processors installed

The defining specification is the factory-installed quartet of 16-core Xeon E7-8867 v4 CPUs, which sets the performance ceiling and licensing baseline for the server. With all four processor sockets occupied, no further CPU upgrades are possible. The LGA 2011 socket and Intel C602J chipset determine compatible memory and I/O options, so verification against existing infrastructure requirements is essential before deployment.
