Mission-Critical 4U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R930 is a 4U rack server built for enterprise workloads that demand maximum compute density and memory capacity. It targets organisations running in-memory databases, large-scale virtualisation, or ERP platforms such as SAP HANA and Oracle. Four installed processors and 3TB of DDR4 ECC memory provide a ready-to-deploy foundation for consolidation projects. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or single-socket efficiency should look elsewhere.

96-Core Xeon Scalability

Four Intel Xeon E7-8890 v4 processors deliver 96 total cores at a 2.2GHz base frequency with 3.4GHz turbo capability. The LGA 2011 socket platform supports the full four-processor maximum, and the Intel C602J chipset coordinates 96 DIMM slots for up to 12TB of DDR4 registered ECC memory. This configuration saturates the memory subsystem for latency-sensitive analytics and OLTP workloads.

Hot-Plug Chassis with iDRAC8

The 4U chassis holds four hot-plug 2.5-inch drive bays populated with 1.8TB 10K SAS drives behind a PERC H330 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 and 50. Quad-port networking combines two 1GbE and two 10Gb SFP+ links on an Intel X520/I350 daughter card. iDRAC8 Enterprise enables remote firmware updates and power control, while four 1100W platinum supplies provide redundant power. Installers must verify rack depth and airflow clearance for the 4U form factor.

Questions about this item

How does the 3 TB of DDR4 2400 MHz memory across 96 slots perform in a live database workload?

The 96 registered ECC DIMMs run at 2400 MHz, giving the four 24-core Xeon E7-8890 v4 processors a large, low-latency pool for in-memory databases and heavy virtualization.

What throughput does the PERC H330 12 Gb/s SAS controller actually deliver to the four 1.8 TB 10K drives?

The H330 connects each 2.5-inch drive at 12 Gb/s SAS, so the 10K spindles can sustain near-line sequential reads and handle RAID 0/1/5/10/50 rebuilds without a controller bottleneck.

How much rack depth do the included ready rails and 4U chassis require?

The 4U chassis fits standard four-post racks; the ready rails mount in square or round holes and support tool-less installation for typical cabinet depths.
