Enterprise database server

The Dell PowerEdge R930 is a 4U rack server configured with four Intel Xeon E7-8890 v4 processors, each running at 2.2 GHz with 24 cores. The system includes 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 48 modules and a Dell PERC H330 storage controller managing twenty-four 960 GB SATA SSDs. It is built for memory-intensive workloads such as in-memory databases, large-scale virtualization, and analytics platforms.

Suited for maximum density in 4U

This configuration targets organisations that need the highest core count and memory capacity available in a four-socket 4U chassis. Buyers who require more than 768 GB of installed memory or who need NVMe acceleration for ultra-low latency storage should evaluate other configurations. Environments limited to fewer processor sockets or lower memory ceilings will not utilise the full capability of this platform.

768 GB DDR4 installed memory

The single specification that determines fit is the 768 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory already populated across 48 DIMM slots. This capacity supports large working sets for SAP HANA, Oracle, and SQL Server without immediate expansion. If the workload demands more than 768 GB at deployment, the 96-slot maximum of 12 TB allows growth, but the starting point is fixed by this build.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 24 2.5" SSDs into the R930 front bays, and what step is often missed?

Slide each 960GB SATA SSD into the 24 hot-plug bays until the latch clicks; the step often missed is creating the virtual disks in the PERC H330 BIOS before the OS sees any volume.

What maintenance will the 48 DDR4 DIMMs and 4 Xeon processors need over time?

The 768GB DDR4 2400MHz registered ECC memory and four E7-8890 v4 CPUs have no scheduled replacement; only firmware updates via iDRAC8 Enterprise and occasional fan or 1100W PSU swap if a unit fails.

Which limit appears first when all 96 cores run at 3.4GHz turbo continuously?

Thermal throttling from the 1100W platinum PSU set and 4U chassis airflow caps sustained 3.4GHz operation; the system will drop toward 2.2GHz base clock before power or memory bandwidth saturates.
