CPU Model Gold 6130

  • Four Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs deliver 64 cores at 2.1 GHz
  • 768 GB DDR4 ECC memory across 24 slots for large datasets
  • PERC H730P controller supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60
  • Quad-port networking with two 10 Gb SFP+ and two 1 GbE links
  • Dual 1600 W platinum PSUs and iDRAC9 Enterprise for resilience

Four-socket Xeon server for dense compute

The Dell PowerEdge R940 packs four Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors, each with 16 cores running at 2.1 GHz and a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. That yields 64 cores in a 3U rack footprint, suited for organisations running virtualisation hosts, in-memory databases or high-throughput transactional workloads where core density per rack unit matters.

Redundant 1600 W platinum supplies

Two 1600 watt platinum-efficiency power supplies operate in redundant mode, so a single unit failure does not interrupt service. Hot-swap capability lets technicians replace a supply without powering down the chassis, while the power architecture is designed to feed all four sockets, 768 GB of DDR4-2666 registered ECC memory and the storage controller under sustained load.

48 DIMM slots, 8 drive trays

The system board provides 48 DDR4 slots, with 24 populated by 32 GB modules today and headroom to reach 6 TB. Eight 2.5-inch SAS/SATA trays are cabled to a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through. A daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports, and iDRAC9 Enterprise gives dedicated out-of-band management. Ready Rails and a front bezel are included for immediate rack installation.

Questions about this item

How are the four Xeon Gold 6130 processors installed and what step is often missed?

Each processor seats in an LGA 3647 socket on the system board; the heat-sink torque sequence must be followed exactly or the CPU will not make full contact.

Which components will need replacement first during the server's service life?

The PERC H730P controller battery and the two 1600 W power-supply fans are the primary field-replaceable items that wear out before the processors or memory.

What thermal or power limit appears first when all 64 cores run at 3.7 GHz turbo continuously?

The 1600 W platinum power supplies hit their sustained-output ceiling before the CPU package temperature reaches its throttle point.
