Mission-critical server

The Dell PowerEdge R930 is a 4U rack server designed for enterprise workloads that demand maximum memory and internal storage. It ships with four Intel Xeon E7-8891 v4 processors, each running at 2.8GHz with ten cores. The system includes 384GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory and four 1.8TB SAS hard drives. It targets organisations running large databases, virtualization clusters, or ERP platforms.

96 DIMM slots for 12TB maximum memory

The defining specification is the memory architecture: 96 DDR4 slots support up to 12TB of registered ECC RAM. The current 384GB configuration uses 48 modules, leaving half the slots free for future expansion. This density makes the R930 suitable for in-memory analytics and high-VM-count environments where memory capacity outweighs raw clock speed.

Hot-plug bays simplify drive changes

All 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch bays support hot-plug SAS or SATA drives, so failed disks can be swapped without downtime. The PERC H330 controller manages RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, and 50. Installers should verify rail depth against their rack and confirm 1100W power supply redundancy matches the facility PDU layout.

Questions about this item

How much memory can the system actually hold once the four Xeon E7-8891 v4 processors are installed?

The board provides 96 DIMM slots and supports up to 12 TB of DDR4; the unit ships with 384 GB in 48 modules, leaving 48 slots free for further expansion.

What throughput does the PERC H330 controller limit the 24-bay SAS backplane to in practice?

The H330 is a 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller, so each drive tops out at 12 Gb/s; the backplane serves all 24 bays through that same 12 Gb/s link.

What rack depth and mounting hardware does the 4U chassis require?

The server is a 4U rack-mount unit and includes Dell Ready Rails plus a front bezel for installation in standard four-post racks.
