DELL PowerEdge R930 4U rack server 4x Xeon E7-8890 v4 2.2GHz 24-core 768GB DDR4 24x 960GB SSD

Dell PowerEdge R930 4U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R930 is a 4U rack server equipped with four Intel Xeon E7-8890 v4 processors, each running at 2.2 GHz with 24 cores for a total of 96 cores. It includes 768 GB of DDR4 memory across 48 modules and twenty-four 960 GB SATA SSDs managed by a PERC H330 controller. Dual 10 Gb SFP+ and dual 1 GbE ports provide network connectivity, while iDRAC8 Enterprise enables remote management. Four 1100 W platinum power supplies and rails are included.

Suits memory-heavy workloads, not GPU compute

This server suits organisations running large in-memory databases, virtualisation clusters or analytics platforms that demand high core counts and massive DDR4 capacity up to 12 TB. It is not for buyers who need GPU acceleration for AI training, rendering or high-performance computing workloads. The Matrox G200 graphics provide only basic console output with 8 MB video memory. Buyers needing PCIe GPU support or NVMe flash tiers should evaluate alternative platforms.

768 GB DDR4 installed, 12 TB maximum capacity

The system ships with 768 GB of registered ECC DDR4-2400 memory installed in 48 of the 96 available DIMM slots. This leaves 48 free slots for expansion up to the 12 TB maximum supported by the four-socket Intel C602J chipset. The installed configuration uses 16 GB modules, so reaching the ceiling requires populating all remaining slots with higher-capacity DDR4 RDIMMs or LRDIMMs compatible with the Xeon E7-8890 v4 memory controller.
