Four-socket Xeon E7-8891 v4 server

The Dell PowerEdge R930 is a 4U rack server fitted with four Intel Xeon E7-8891 v4 processors. Each CPU runs at 2.8 GHz with 10 cores, giving 40 cores in total. The system ships with 384 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 48 modules. It is built for enterprises that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a single chassis.

Suited for memory-heavy workloads.

This server targets in-memory databases, virtualization clusters, and analytics platforms that benefit from up to 12 TB of DDR4 across 96 slots. The integrated Matrox G200 graphics with 8 MB video memory provides only basic console output. Buyers who require GPU acceleration for AI training, rendering, or high-performance computing should evaluate platforms with PCIe GPU support.

96 DDR4 slots supporting 12 TB maximum memory

The defining specification is the memory architecture: 96 DIMM slots populated with 48 x 8 GB modules today, expandable to 12 TB. This density lets organisations consolidate many virtual machines or run large SAP HANA and Oracle instances on one node. If the workload fits within a smaller memory footprint, a two-socket server may reduce cost and power draw.

Questions about this item

Will the four Xeon E7-8891 v4 CPUs at 2.8 GHz work with my existing DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC DIMMs?

Yes, the server ships with 48x 8GB DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC modules filling 48 of the 96 slots, so identical DIMMs can be added to the remaining slots without speed mismatch.

How can I confirm the PERC H330 controller sees all four 600 GB SAS drives in RAID 10 after installation?

During POST the H330 BIOS lists each 600 GB drive and the virtual disk; iDRAC8 Enterprise then shows the array status as Optimal with all four members online.

Does the box include SFP+ transceivers for the X520 10 GbE ports, or must I buy them separately?

The shipment includes the X520/I350 quad-port daughter card, four 1100 W PSUs, ready rails and bezel; SFP+ transceivers for the two 10 GbE ports are not supplied and must be purchased separately.
