Four-socket Xeon Gold 6130 server

The PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack server built around four Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors. Each CPU runs at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores, delivering 64 cores in total for heavily threaded workloads. It targets organisations that run large databases, virtualisation clusters or in-memory analytics on a single chassis.

256 GB DDR4 with 6 TB ceiling

The system ships with 256 GB of DDR4-2666 registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules, occupying 8 of 48 DIMM slots. That headroom lets you scale to 6 TB when workloads outgrow the factory configuration, while the installed capacity already handles sizable VM fleets or analytic datasets without swapping.

H730P RAID and quad-port networking

A PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache manages the two 800 GB SATA SSDs and up to six additional 2.5-inch drives, supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. An Intel X520/I350 daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports, while iDRAC9 Enterprise and redundant 1600 W platinum supplies simplify remote management and uptime.

Questions about this item

Will the four Xeon Gold 6130 2.1GHz processors work with my existing DDR4 2666MHz registered ECC modules?

Yes, the R940 uses DDR4 2666MHz registered ECC memory and has 48 slots supporting up to 6TB, so your current modules are compatible.

How can I confirm the PERC H730P controller is managing the two 800GB SSDs correctly after installation?

During boot, open the H730P BIOS utility (Ctrl+R) to verify both 800GB SATA SSDs appear in a healthy RAID array and the 2GB cache battery shows charged.

Does the shipment include the iDRAC9 Enterprise licence, X520/I350 quad-port network card, bezel and sliding rails?

Yes, the unit comes with iDRAC9 Enterprise, the Intel X520/I350 daughter card providing two 1GbE and two 10Gb SFP+ ports, plus the front bezel and ReadyRails.
