DELL PowerEdge R940 3U 4x Xeon Gold 6134 3.2GHz 8C 512GB DDR4 8x 600GB SAS H730P

Mission-critical 4-socket server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 packs four Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors, each running at 3.2 GHz with eight cores, into a 3U rack chassis. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 16 modules, leaving 32 slots free for expansion up to 6 TB. The system targets organisations that run large databases, virtualisation clusters or in-memory analytics and need maximum compute density in a single rack unit.

Sustained throughput with redundant power

Two hot-swap 1600 W platinum power supplies share the load so the server maintains full performance during extended compute windows without throttling. The PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache drives eight 600 GB 10 K SAS drives in RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60, keeping storage latency predictable under heavy mixed read-write workloads. Quad-port networking — two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links — provides consistent bandwidth for east-west traffic between cluster nodes.

Service-ready chassis and remote management

Tool-less sliding rails and a front bezel let technicians install or remove the 3U unit in a standard rack without extra hardware. Eight 2.5-inch drive bays sit behind a lockable door for quick drive swaps while the system stays online. The iDRAC 9 Enterprise module gives administrators full out-of-band control over power, firmware and console access from anywhere, reducing on-site visits for routine maintenance or emergency recovery.
