DELL PowerEdge R940 3U 4x Xeon Platinum 8160 2.1GHz 24C 512GB DDR4 2x 800GB SSD H730P

Four-socket Xeon server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack server built around four Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors. Each CPU delivers 24 cores at 2.10 GHz with a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. The system ships with 512 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 16 modules and includes a PERC H730P 2 GB RAID controller. Two 800 GB SATA SSDs are installed in the eight 2.5-inch drive bays.

Virtualisation hosts and dense compute

This configuration suits organisations that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a compact 3U form factor. The four-socket design supports demanding virtualisation, in-memory databases and analytics workloads. Buyers who require more than eight drive bays or who need a different storage interface should evaluate other platforms.

512 GB DDR4 registered ECC memory

The installed 512 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory occupies 16 of the 48 available slots, leaving room to scale toward the 6 TB maximum. This capacity determines how many virtual machines or how large a dataset the server can handle immediately.
