Four-socket Xeon 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 CPU provides 10 cores, giving a total of 40 cores for heavy multi-threaded workloads. The system ships with 1.5 TB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 48 DIMM slots. It is aimed at enterprises running large databases or virtualisation clusters.

Buyers needing massive memory and local storage

This configuration suits organisations that require up to 12 TB of RAM and 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch drive bays for SAS or SATA media. The PERC H730P controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with a 2 GB cache. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, high single-thread frequency or a smaller chassis should evaluate other platforms.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS chassis

The server provides 24 hot-plug bays wired to a 12 Gb/s SAS backplane and the H730P controller. This bay count and interface determine how many drives can be installed and which RAID levels are available. Ensure the drive form factor and SAS connectivity match your capacity and performance requirements before purchase.

Questions about this item

What SAS speed does the PERC H730P controller support and how does that cap drive throughput?

The H730P is a 12Gb/s SAS controller, so each 1.8TB 10K drive is limited to the 12Gb/s link speed in practice.

What physical space and rails are required to mount this 4U chassis?

The server occupies 4U of rack height and ships with Dell Ready Rails for standard rack mounting.

How are the four processors and 48 DIMMs installed, and what step is often missed?

All four Xeon E7-8891 v4 CPUs and 48x 32GB DDR4 modules come pre-installed; the step often missed is seating each DIMM fully until the ejector clips click.
