Four-socket Xeon E7-8890 v4 server

The Dell PowerEdge R930 is a 4U rack server populated with four Intel Xeon E7-8890 v4 processors running at 2.2 GHz with a 3.4 GHz turbo frequency. Each CPU provides 24 cores for a total of 96 cores across the system. It ships with 3 TB of DDR4 registered ECC memory installed across 96 slots and can scale to 12 TB. The chassis includes 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch drive bays.

Suited for memory-bound databases and consolidation

This configuration targets workloads that demand large shared memory pools and high core counts in a single chassis, such as in-memory databases, virtualization hosts, and ERP platforms. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or NVMe boot drives should look elsewhere because the only graphics output is a Matrox G200 with 8 MB video memory and the installed storage uses SATA SSDs behind a PERC H730P controller. The system is also not intended for environments that require more than four processor sockets.

3 TB DDR4 installed across 96 slots

The server arrives with 3 TB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory fully populating the 96 DIMM slots, leaving no free slots for expansion without removing modules. Maximum supported capacity is 12 TB, so any increase requires replacing the existing 32 GB DIMMs with higher-density parts. Verify your application's memory footprint against this starting configuration before purchase.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 24 x 1.92TB SATA SSDs into the 2.5" hot-plug bays, and what step is commonly missed?

Slide each drive into a bay until the latch clicks; the step often missed is creating the virtual disks in the PERC H730P BIOS before the OS sees the 24 x 1.92TB SSDs.

Which component will need replacement first under continuous 24/7 operation in this server?

The PERC H730P 2GB cache battery is the first field-replaceable part that degrades; plan to swap it when the controller reports a learn-cycle failure.

What thermal or power limit appears first when all four Xeon E7-8890 v4 CPUs run at 3.4GHz turbo sustained?

The 4 x 1100W Platinum PSUs hit their combined output ceiling before the 4U chassis airflow becomes the bottleneck.
