DELL PowerEdge R940 3U rack server 4× Xeon Gold 6134 3.2GHz 64GB DDR4 8× 400GB SSD H730P

Four-socket 3U server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack server equipped with four Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors running at 3.2 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo, 64 GB of DDR4 memory across 48 slots, and a Dell PERC H730P controller managing eight 400 GB SATA SSDs. It includes an Intel X520/I350 quad-port network daughter card providing two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections, iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management, redundant 1600 W platinum power supplies, and ready rails with front bezel.

Suits dense virtualization and database workloads

This configuration fits organizations running memory-intensive virtualization clusters, in-memory databases, or high-transaction OLTP systems that benefit from four sockets and hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 in a compact 3U footprint. Buyers who need more than 64 GB of installed memory, more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays, or a different network interface mix should evaluate other platforms.

Four Xeon Gold 6134 processors installed

The server arrives with the maximum of four processors already populated, so the CPU count cannot be increased beyond the four 8-core Xeon Gold 6134 units. Memory can be expanded up to 6 TB across the 48 DDR4 slots, and storage capacity grows by adding SATA or SAS drives to the PERC H730P controller.
