DELL PowerEdge R940 3U rack server 4× Xeon Gold 5120 2.2 GHz 14-core 64 GB DDR4 8× 800 GB SSD H730P

Four-socket Xeon server for dense workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack server fitted with four Intel Xeon Gold 5120 processors, each running at 2.2 GHz with 14 cores. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 48 slots and eight 800 GB SATA SSDs managed by a PERC H730P RAID controller. Dual 1600 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise provide redundancy and remote management.

Suited for memory-intensive databases

This system targets organisations that need maximum core density and memory capacity in a 3U footprint. The four-processor design supports up to 6 TB of DDR4 for large in-memory datasets. Buyers who need more than four processors or require storage interfaces beyond SATA and SAS should look elsewhere.

48 DDR4 slots define the memory ceiling

With 48 DIMM slots and a 6 TB maximum, the slot count is the decisive specification for capacity planning. The installed 64 GB uses only four slots, leaving ample room for expansion. Matching registered ECC DDR4 modules is essential; the platform does not support other memory types.
