DELL PowerEdge R940 3U Rack Server 4× Xeon Gold 6130 2.1GHz 16C 128GB DDR4 2×800GB SSD H730P

Mission-critical compute density

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 128 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across eight modules. The system targets organisations running large databases, virtualisation clusters or in-memory analytics that need maximum socket count in a compact rack footprint.

Sustained multi-socket throughput

Four physical CPUs provide 64 total cores and 128 threads, allowing the server to maintain high throughput on parallel workloads such as ERP suites or scientific modelling without throttling back during extended runs. The Intel C620 chipset and 48 memory slots support up to 6 TB of DDR4, so capacity can grow with the application. The PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache accelerates sustained write performance across RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 configurations.

Efficient thermal and power profile

Redundant 1600 W platinum-efficiency power supplies share the load and enable hot-swap replacement without downtime. The 3U chassis uses directed airflow to cool all four processors and memory banks under typical data-centre conditions. iDRAC 9 Enterprise provides remote power monitoring and thermal alerts, while the included quad-port 1 GbE and dual 10 GbE SFP+ network daughter card keeps I/O latency low without adding external adapters.
