Four-socket 3U server with 24-core Xeons

The Dell PowerEdge R940 fits four Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 24 cores, into a 3U rack chassis. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory and a PERC H730P storage controller driving eight 800 GB SATA SSDs. Dual 10 Gb SFP+ and dual 1 GbE ports plus iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management complete the base configuration.

Built for memory-heavy workloads in a compact rack

This system targets databases, virtualization hosts and analytics platforms that benefit from four sockets and large DDR4 capacity while occupying only 3U. It uses SATA SSDs and a 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA RAID controller, so buyers who need GPU acceleration for AI training or workloads demanding faster storage interfaces should evaluate alternative platforms.

Four Xeon Platinum 8160 CPUs installed

The server arrives with all four processor sockets populated by 24-core Xeon Platinum 8160 chips at 2.1 GHz. Maximum processor count is four, so no further CPU expansion is possible. Buyers requiring additional compute density must add another node.
