Server overview

The Dell PowerEdge R930 is a 4U rack server built for enterprise workloads that demand high processor counts and massive memory capacity. Four Intel Xeon E7-8891 v4 10-core processors running at 2.8GHz provide 40 total cores. The system ships with 1.5TB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 48 DIMM slots. Twenty-four 1.92TB SATA SSDs connect to a PERC H730P RAID controller supporting RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60. Four 1100W platinum power supplies and iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management complete the package.

Suitability

This server suits organisations running in-memory databases, large-scale virtualization or analytics platforms that can exploit 96 memory slots and 24 drive bays in a single 4U chassis. The quad-socket design and 12TB maximum memory ceiling serve workloads requiring extreme density. Buyers needing GPU acceleration for AI training or rendering should look elsewhere because the only video output is a Matrox G200 with 8MB memory. Environments requiring front-accessible NVMe PCIe SSDs will not find those bays populated in this configuration.

Deciding specification

The installed memory of 1.5TB using 48x 32GB DDR4 2400MHz modules determines whether this system meets immediate capacity needs. The platform supports up to 12TB across 96 slots, so future expansion is possible, but the current 1.5TB baseline must fit the workload today. Verify that the application licensing model and dataset size align with this starting point before committing.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the four Xeon E7-8891 v4 processors and 1.5TB DDR4 are recognised after power-on?

Open the iDRAC8 Enterprise interface or enter the system BIOS; both will display four CPUs at 2.8GHz with 10 cores each and show 1.5TB of DDR4 2400MHz registered ECC memory across the 96 DIMM slots.

Which items ship inside the 4U chassis and which must be sourced separately?

The chassis includes four Xeon E7-8891 v4 CPUs, 48x 32GB DDR4 DIMMs, 24x 1.92TB SATA SSDs, PERC H730P 2GB controller, X520/I350 quad-port network daughter card, iDRAC8 Enterprise, four 1100W Platinum PSUs, Ready Rails and front bezel. No additional components are required for basic operation.

Which storage capacity should I choose if I need the full 24-bay configuration?

This unit already ships with 24x 1.92TB SATA SSDs installed, providing the maximum 2.5-inch drive count supported by the 4U chassis.
