Dense four-socket compute platform

The Dell PowerEdge R930 is a 4U rack server that fits four Intel Xeon E7-8890 v4 processors, each with 24 cores running at 2.2 GHz and a 3.4 GHz turbo. It ships with 3 TB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 96 slots and a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache driving four 1.92 TB SATA SSDs in a choice of RAID levels from 0 to 60. Quad-port networking adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links, while iDRAC8 Enterprise handles remote management.

Suited for memory-bound consolidation.

This server targets organisations that need maximum core count and memory capacity in a single chassis for in-memory databases, virtualisation hosts or ERP systems such as SAP HANA and Oracle. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, front-accessible NVMe bays beyond the factory configuration, or a smaller rack footprint should evaluate alternative platforms. The Matrox G200 graphics with 8 MB video memory only supports basic console output.

3 TB memory today, 12 TB ceiling ahead

The installed 3 TB (96 × 32 GB DDR4) fills every slot, so any expansion means replacing modules rather than adding them. The controller supports up to 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives, giving ample headroom for storage growth beyond the four 1.92 TB SSDs supplied. Four 1100 W platinum power supplies provide redundancy for fully populated configurations.

Questions about this item

Does the server need any extra rails or brackets before it can be mounted in a standard 4U rack?

Ready Rails and a front bezel are included with the R930, so no additional mounting hardware is required for a standard 4U rack installation.

Can the existing 1.92 TB SATA SSDs share the backplane with older 2.5" SAS drives if I keep them?

The PERC H730P controller supports mixed SAS and SATA drives on the same 2.5" hot-plug backplane, allowing the installed SSDs to coexist with legacy SAS disks.

How can I confirm the 3 TB of DDR4 memory is recognised and running at 2400 MHz after power-on?

Open the iDRAC8 Enterprise interface or enter the BIOS; both will display the full 96 DIMM population, 3 TB total capacity and 2400 MHz operating speed.
