Four-socket Xeon server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack server equipped with four Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors, each running at 2.3 GHz with 12 cores. It includes 768 GB of DDR4 memory across 24 modules and eight 800 GB SATA SSDs managed by a PERC H730P controller. Dual 1600 W power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise provide redundancy and remote management.

Suits dense virtualisation.

This system targets organisations consolidating many virtual machines or running memory-intensive databases within a compact 3U footprint. The four-socket design and 48 memory slots support heavy parallel tasks. Buyers who need only one or two processors, or who require fewer than 24 DIMM slots, should consider a smaller platform.

768 GB DDR4 memory capacity

The installed 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory fills 24 of the 48 available slots, leaving room for expansion up to the 6 TB maximum. This specification determines whether the server can hold the working set for your application without immediate upgrades.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the server is running correctly after installation?

Check iDRAC9 Enterprise for system health, confirm all four Xeon Gold 5118 processors show 12 cores each at 2.3 GHz, and ensure 768 GB DDR4 memory and eight 800 GB SSDs are detected by the PERC H730P controller.

What components are included and what must I purchase separately?

The system ships with 4 Xeon Gold 5118 CPUs, 24× 32 GB DDR4 RDIMMs, 8× 800 GB SATA SSDs, PERC H730P with battery, X520/I350 quad-port network card, iDRAC9 Enterprise, dual 1600 W PSUs, rails and bezel. No additional parts are required for basic operation.

Which memory configuration should I choose for this R940?

The server arrives with 768 GB across 24 slots using 32 GB DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC modules; 24 slots remain free for expansion up to 6 TB using identical DDR4 RDIMMs.
