Four-Processor Xeon Server for Mission-Critical

The Dell PowerEdge R930 is a 4U rack server equipped with four Intel Xeon E7-8891 v4 processors, each running at 2.8 GHz with 10 cores. It ships with 384 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 48 modules and a PERC H730P controller managing 24 SAS hard drives of 1.8 TB each. This configuration targets enterprises running large databases, virtualization clusters, or ERP systems that demand high core counts and memory capacity in a single chassis.

Storage Controller and Drive Limits

The integrated PERC H730P provides 12 Gb/s SAS connectivity and supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. The 24-bay 2.5-inch chassis accepts SAS or SATA drives, and the specification notes capacity for up to eight front-accessible NVMe PCIe SSDs. The controller’s 2 GB cache is backed by a battery. Network connectivity comes from a quad-port daughter card with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports.

Pre-Installation Checks for Buyers

Verify that your rack provides 4U of space and can supply sufficient power for four 1100 W platinum-rated supplies. Confirm the LGA 2011 socket platform matches your existing infrastructure and that the 96 DIMM slots align with any planned memory expansion up to the 12 TB maximum. Ensure your management tools support iDRAC8 Enterprise for remote administration and that the Matrox G200 graphics with 8 MB video memory meets console requirements.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 384 GB configuration or add more DDR4 modules later?

The system ships with 48 modules of 8 GB DDR4 2400 MHz ECC for 384 GB total. All 96 slots are available and the platform supports up to 12 TB, so you can expand without replacing existing sticks.

What does the 2.8 GHz base clock mean when all four Xeon E7-8891 v4 processors are active?

Each of the four 10-core CPUs runs at 2.8 GHz base with a 3.5 GHz turbo, giving 40 cores and 80 threads of sustained performance for memory-intensive workloads such as in-memory databases or virtualization clusters.

How does the PERC H730P 12 Gb/s SAS controller limit the 24 installed 1.8 TB drives in practice?

The H730P provides 12 Gb/s SAS connectivity to all 24 bays and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, so the array performance ceiling is set by the 10 K RPM drives and the controller’s 2 GB cache rather than the link speed.
