DELL PowerEdge R940 3U rack server 4× Xeon Gold 6130 2.1GHz 16-core 64GB DDR4 8× 2.4TB SAS H730P

3U 4-socket Xeon Gold server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack server equipped with four Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 48 available slots. Eight 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives connect through a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache. Dual 1600 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management complete the platform.

Database and virtualisation workloads

This system suits organisations running memory-intensive databases, large-scale virtualisation or analytics that benefit from 64 cores in a single 3U chassis. The four-socket design and 6 TB maximum memory ceiling support heavy concurrent workloads. Buyers who need more than 64 GB of RAM or higher drive density should evaluate alternative configurations, as the current memory population and drive set are fixed.

64 GB DDR4 in 48 slots

The installed 64 GB of DDR4 memory occupies only a fraction of the 48 DIMM slots, leaving substantial room for expansion up to the 6 TB limit. This single specification determines whether the server can grow with your application or requires immediate reconfiguration.
