DELL PowerEdge R940 3U rack server 4× Xeon 8160 24-core 2.1 GHz 64 GB DDR4 8× 600 GB SAS H730P

Four-socket Xeon 8160 server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack system populated with four Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors. Each CPU delivers 24 cores at 2.1 GHz with a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. The chassis includes 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory, a PERC H730P RAID controller with 2 GB cache, eight 600 GB 10K SAS drives, quad-port networking, iDRAC9 Enterprise, and dual 1600 W platinum power supplies.

Suited for memory-intensive workloads

This configuration targets databases, virtualization clusters, and analytics platforms that benefit from high core counts and large memory capacity. The 48 DIMM slots support up to 6 TB of DDR4, allowing significant future expansion. Buyers who need more than four sockets, integrated GPU compute, or a different drive interface should evaluate other platforms.

48 DDR4 DIMM slots define capacity

The single specification that decides fit is the 48 memory slots combined with DDR4 technology. They determine the maximum 6 TB ceiling and the type of modules the system accepts. If your workload requires a different memory generation or a lower slot count, this server will not match the requirement.
