DELL PowerEdge R930 4U rack server 4x Xeon E7-8890 v4 2.2GHz 24-core 384GB DDR4 24x 1.8TB SAS H330

Four-socket Xeon compute density

The Dell PowerEdge R930 is a 4U rack server populated with four Intel Xeon E7-8890 v4 processors. Each CPU runs at 2.2 GHz with 24 cores, providing 96 cores total for heavily threaded workloads. The system ships with 384 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 48 modules. It targets organisations running large databases, virtualisation clusters or ERP suites that demand maximum core count in a single chassis.

Sustained throughput with 24 drive bays

Twenty-four 1.8 TB 10K SAS drives connect through a PERC H330 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 and 50. The 12 Gb/s SAS backbone maintains consistent bandwidth during extended read and write sequences typical of OLTP and analytics jobs. Four 1100 W platinum power supplies share the load, keeping voltages stable when every drive and all 96 cores operate at full utilisation for hours at a time.

Memory and I/O ceiling defined by C602J

The Intel C602J chipset caps installed memory at 12 TB across 96 DIMM slots, so growth beyond the factory 384 GB is possible but finite. Network I/O uses a quad-port daughter card with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links, limiting east-west traffic to those four lanes. Storage expansion stops at the 24 front bays plus eight NVMe slots the chassis can accept, bounding total device count regardless of drive technology.
