DELL PowerEdge R930 4U rack server 4x Xeon E7-8890 v4 2.2GHz 24-core 3TB DDR4 4x 1.92TB SSD H330

Mission-critical 4U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R930 is a 4U rack-mount server built for the most demanding enterprise workloads. It ships with four Intel Xeon E7-8890 v4 processors, each running at 2.2 GHz with 24 cores and a 3.4 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 3 TB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 96 slots and four 1.92 TB SATA SSDs managed by a PERC H330 controller. It targets organisations running in-memory databases, virtualisation clusters, or ERP platforms that require maximum compute density and memory capacity in a single chassis.

Thermals noise and power

Four hot-plug 1100 W 80+ Platinum power supplies provide redundant power for the fully populated configuration. The 4U form factor allows ample airflow across the four processor sockets, 96 DIMM slots, and storage bays to maintain stable temperatures under sustained load. Acoustic output scales with fan speed required to cool the 96-core CPU complex and memory subsystem at full utilisation. The Platinum-efficiency power supplies minimise waste heat and reduce operating costs in dense rack deployments.

Upgrade path and fit

This configuration replaces older four-socket servers limited to lower core counts, smaller memory ceilings, or slower storage interfaces. The jump is worth it when workloads demand the full 96 cores and 3 TB of DDR4 memory immediately, with headroom to scale to 12 TB across the 96 slots. Buyers who need more than 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch drive bays or integrated GPU acceleration should evaluate alternative platforms. The included iDRAC8 Enterprise and quad-port 1/10 GbE networking simplify remote management and connectivity for consolidated environments.
