DELL PowerEdge R930 4U 4x Xeon E7-8867 v4 2.4GHz 16C 768GB DDR4 4x 960GB SSD

Dense 4U compute node

The Dell PowerEdge R930 is a 4U rack server populated with four Intel Xeon E7-8867 v4 processors, each running at 2.40 GHz with 16 cores. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 48 DIMM slots and four 960 GB SATA SSDs on a PERC H330 controller. Quad-port networking combines two 1 GbE and two 10 GbE SFP+ links, while iDRAC8 Enterprise handles remote management. Four 1100 W platinum power supplies and sliding rails complete the package.

Suits memory-heavy consolidation.

This system targets workloads that benefit from a single large memory pool, such as in-memory databases, virtualisation hosts or ERP suites. Buyers needing GPU acceleration should look elsewhere because the only graphics output is a basic Matrox G200 with 8 MB video memory. The installed drives use the SATA interface; the chassis can accept NVMe devices but none are included and the supplied H330 controller does not manage them. Organisations requiring higher core counts per socket or different processor families will need another platform.

768 GB DDR4 installed memory

The server arrives with 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory installed in 48 of the 96 available DIMM slots. This capacity determines whether the node can hold the working set for large-scale analytics, SAP HANA or dense virtualisation without immediate expansion. Memory runs at 2400 MHz and the platform supports up to 12 TB total, so the installed amount is the practical starting point for sizing the workload.
