PowerEdge R940 3U quad-socket server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack-mount server populated with four Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors running at 3.2 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots and two 800 GB SATA SSDs managed by a PERC H730P RAID controller.

Suited for dense compute workloads

Organisations running virtualisation clusters, in-memory databases or high-thread-count applications will benefit from the four-socket design and large memory capacity. Buyers who need more than two internal SATA SSDs or require additional drive bays populated at purchase should evaluate other configurations, as this unit ships with only the two 800 GB drives installed.

Four Intel Xeon Gold 6134 CPUs installed

The system arrives with the maximum of four processors already fitted, each delivering eight cores at 3.2 GHz base frequency. No further CPU upgrades are possible, so the installed core count and clock speed define the total compute ceiling for the life of the chassis.

Questions about this item

What does having four Xeon Gold 6134 CPUs at 3.2 GHz actually deliver in a live workload?

Thirty-two total cores running at 3.2 GHz base with 3.7 GHz turbo give strong multi-thread throughput for virtualisation, databases or analytics.

How does the PERC H730P controller limit the two installed 800 GB SSDs?

The H730P connects over 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA, so the 6 Gb/s SATA SSDs run at their native link speed; RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through are all supported.

What physical space and mounting hardware does the 3U chassis need?

The server occupies three rack units and ships with ready rails and a front bezel for standard cabinet installation.
