Four-socket Xeon server for mission-critical

The PowerEdge R940 packs four Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors, each running at 3.2 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo, into a 3U rack chassis. With 768 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots, it targets databases, virtualization and real-time analytics that demand high core counts and large memory footprints.

Verify rack space, power and network cabling

The unit occupies 3U of rack height and ships with ready rails and a front bezel. Dual 1600 W platinum power supplies provide redundancy, so confirm your PDU connectors and circuit capacity. Networking uses an Intel X520/I350 daughter card delivering two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports; ensure your switch supports the required transceivers and cabling.

Sustained load handled by redundant power and RAID

Under continuous demand the twin 1600 W supplies share load and maintain uptime if one fails. The PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache drives two 300 GB 10K SAS drives in RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60, while iDRAC 9 Enterprise allows remote thermal and power monitoring without OS dependency.
