Four-socket Xeon server

The PowerEdge R930 is a 4U rack server populated with four Xeon E7-8891 v4 processors running at 2.8 GHz with ten cores each. It ships with 3 TB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 96 DIMM slots and four 1.8 TB 10K SAS drives on a PERC H730P controller. The platform targets memory-intensive workloads such as in-memory databases, large-scale virtualization and analytics.

Memory and storage scaling limits

The system supports up to 12 TB of DDR4 across its 96 slots, allowing significant headroom beyond the installed 3 TB. Internal drive bays accommodate up to 24 hot-plug 2.5-inch SAS or SATA devices plus eight front-accessible NVMe PCIe SSDs. The H730P controller provides RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with a 2 GB cache and battery backup.

Redundant power and remote management

Four 1100 W 80+ Platinum power supplies deliver N+1 redundancy for continuous operation. The embedded iDRAC8 Enterprise module enables agent-free remote administration, power control and firmware updates over a dedicated network port. Included sliding rails and a front bezel simplify rack mounting and physical security in the data centre.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 2.8 GHz 10-core Xeon E7-8891 v4 or a higher-core model for this R930?

The E7-8891 v4 runs at 2.8 GHz base with 3.5 GHz turbo across 10 cores, giving strong single-thread speed for per-core licensed workloads; higher-core CPUs in the same family drop base frequency, so choose by licence cost versus parallel throughput.

What does the 3 TB DDR4-2400 figure mean once the server is running?

96 modules of 32 GB each fill every slot at 2400 MHz registered ECC, delivering the full 3 TB capacity with error correction active; the platform can scale to 12 TB if you later add larger DIMMs.

What does the 12 Gb/s SAS H730P controller cap in practice?

The PERC H730P with 2 GB cache connects the four 1.8 TB 10K SAS drives at 12 Gb/s per lane and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, so the array topology — not the controller link — becomes the throughput limit.
