Four-socket Xeon Gold 6134 server

This 3U rack system ships with four Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors at 3.2 GHz, each offering eight cores. It includes 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 48 slots and a Dell PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache. Two 400 GB SATA SSDs and a quad-port network daughter card with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links are installed. iDRAC9 Enterprise provides remote management.

Check power, rack space and memory needs

Verify that your facility can supply two redundant 1600 W platinum power supplies and that a 3U slot is available in a compatible rack with ready rails. Confirm the DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC modules match any planned memory expansion up to the 6 TB maximum. Ensure the SATA and SAS backplane matches the eight 2.5-inch drive bays and that SFP+ transceivers are on hand for the 10 Gb ports.

Hot-swap power and rails simplify daily ops

Dual hot-swap 1600 W units allow power maintenance without downtime. The PERC H730P battery-backed cache protects writes during unexpected loss. Included ready rails and front bezel speed up rack installation and removal. iDRAC9 Enterprise enables out-of-band monitoring, firmware updates and virtual console access over a dedicated management port.

Questions about this item

Does the R940 ship with drive caddies, rails and bezel, or must I order them separately?

The listing states that Ready Rails and a front bezel are included. The 2.5" drive bays accept standard Dell caddies; if the unit ships without them you will need to purchase matching caddies for any additional drives.

Should I choose the 256 GB DDR4 configuration or plan to fill all 48 slots up to 6 TB?

The server arrives with 256 GB (eight 32 GB DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC modules) installed across 48 slots. If your workload fits in 256 GB, the factory memory is sufficient; otherwise add compatible DDR4 RDIMMs to scale toward the 6 TB maximum.

What does the 3.2 GHz base clock with 3.7 GHz turbo mean for real-world throughput on the Xeon Gold 6134?

Each of the four Xeon Gold 6134 CPUs runs at 3.2 GHz base and can boost to 3.7 GHz under load, giving 32 total cores for parallel workloads. Actual throughput depends on memory bandwidth, storage speed and application scaling.
