Dell PowerEdge R930 4U 4x Xeon E7-8891 v4 2.8GHz 10C 768GB DDR4 24x 2.5

Mission-critical compute density

The Dell PowerEdge R930 is a 4U rack server populated with four Intel Xeon E7-8891 v4 processors, each running at 2.8 GHz with 10 cores. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across 48 DIMM slots. The system targets enterprises running in-memory databases, large-scale virtualization, ERP, SAP HANA, Oracle, or SQL Server workloads that demand maximum core count and memory capacity in a single chassis.

Scalable memory and storage foundation

The server supports up to 96 DDR4 DIMMs for a maximum of 12 TB of memory, leaving 48 slots open for future expansion. Twenty-four hot-plug 2.5-inch drive bays connect to a Dell PERC H330 controller providing RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, and 50 across SATA and SAS media. A quad-port network daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links, while iDRAC8 Enterprise enables remote lifecycle management. Four 1100 W 80+ Platinum power supplies deliver redundant power.

Upgrade path from smaller 2U

Organizations consolidating multiple older 2U servers or single-socket systems gain a 4-socket, 40-core platform with massive DIMM capacity and dense 2.5-inch storage in the same 4U footprint. The jump is worthwhile when workloads exceed the memory ceiling or core count of dual-socket designs and require the RAS features of the Xeon E7-8800 v4 family. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, front-accessible NVMe PCIe SSDs beyond the eight supported, or a smaller rack profile should evaluate alternative form factors.
