DELL PowerEdge R930 4U rack server 4x Xeon E7-8891 v4 2.8GHz 10-core 384GB DDR4 24x 960GB SSD H730P

Mission-critical 4U server

The Dell PowerEdge R930 is a 4U rack server populated with four Intel Xeon E7-8891 v4 processors running at 2.8 GHz, each providing ten cores. It ships with 384 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 48 modules and a PERC H730P controller managing twenty-four 960 GB SATA SSDs. The system targets enterprises running in-memory databases, large-scale virtualization, or ERP workloads that demand maximum core count and memory capacity in a single chassis.

Verify rack power and networking

Confirm your facility can supply four 1100 W power supplies and that the 4U height fits the allocated rack space. The server includes an Intel X520/I350 daughter card delivering two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports, so ensure compatible SFP+ transceivers and cabling are available. Check that the LGA 2011 socket limitation matches any processor upgrade plans, as the board supports a maximum of four CPUs.

Dense compute and storage in one unit

The twenty-four 2.5-inch drive bays provide high-capacity flash storage without external arrays, while the 96 DIMM slots allow future expansion toward 12 TB of memory. Integrated iDRAC8 Enterprise enables remote deployment, monitoring, and firmware updates without a dedicated KVM. Four platinum-rated power supplies deliver redundancy, freeing rack slots that would otherwise hold separate storage or management appliances.
