Four-socket Xeon server for critical workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack server built around four Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 modules. The platform targets organisations that run large databases, virtualisation clusters or in-memory analytics and need maximum compute density in a single chassis.

Dual 1600 W platinum supplies

Two redundant 1600 watt platinum-efficiency power supplies share the load and can be swapped without downtime. The four-socket design draws significant power under full utilisation, so the platinum rating helps contain operating cost and heat output. Hot-swap capability means a failed unit can be replaced while the server stays online.

Eight-bay front storage

The front panel holds eight 2.5-inch drive bays populated with 800 GB SATA SSDs managed by a Dell PERC H730P 2 GB controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. A quad-port network daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections. iDRAC 9 Enterprise provides remote management, and ready rails plus a front bezel are included for rack mounting.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 8 x 800GB SATA SSDs into the 2.5-inch drive bays, and which step is often missed?

Slide each drive into a hot-swap bay until the latch clicks; the step often missed is verifying the PERC H730P RAID configuration before loading the OS.

What maintenance will the 768GB DDR4 memory and PERC H730P battery require later?

The 24 registered ECC DDR4 modules need no scheduled service; the H730P RAID battery should be replaced every 3 to 5 years to preserve write-cache protection.

What limit appears first when all four Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs run sustained 2.1 GHz workloads?

Thermal throttling from the 3U chassis airflow limit typically triggers before the 1600 W redundant power supplies reach capacity.
