DELL PowerEdge R940 3U Rack Server 4× Xeon Gold 6130 2.1GHz 16-Core 512GB DDR4 8× 800GB SSD H730P

Quad-Socket Xeon Server for Dense Compute

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack server built around four Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors running at 2.10 GHz with 16 cores each. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 48 slots and eight 800 GB SATA solid-state drives managed by a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache. Dual 1600 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management are included.

Suited for Memory-Intensive Workloads, Not GPU Tasks

This system targets databases, virtualisation clusters and analytics jobs that benefit from high core counts and large memory capacity in a compact rack footprint. The quad-socket design and 6 TB maximum memory support scale for demanding enterprise applications. Buyers requiring GPU acceleration should look elsewhere because the chassis provides no PCIe GPU clearance and the backplane is SATA/SAS only.

512 GB DDR4 Installed with 6 TB Ceiling

The single specification that decides fit is the 512 GB of DDR4 memory already installed against a 6 TB maximum across 48 slots. Workloads that fit comfortably inside this envelope will run without immediate upgrades; projects that need more capacity must plan for additional registered ECC modules.
