DELL PowerEdge R940 3U rack server 4× Xeon Gold 6142 2.6GHz 16-core 64GB DDR4 8× 600GB SAS H730P

Four-socket Xeon Gold 6142 server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack server equipped with four Intel Xeon Gold 6142 processors running at 2.6 GHz with a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. Each CPU provides 16 cores for a total of 64 cores across the system. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory installed across 48 available slots. The platform targets organisations running mission-critical workloads that demand high core counts and large memory capacity in a compact rack footprint.

Verify rack space power and drive bays

Confirm that your rack can accommodate a 3U chassis and that the facility can deliver sufficient power for dual 1600 W platinum-efficiency supplies. The server provides eight 2.5-inch drive bays populated with 600 GB 10K SAS drives connected to a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache. Ensure your storage topology matches the SAS interface and that the H730P RAID modes meet your redundancy requirements before deployment.

Quad-port networking and remote management included

A Dell Intel X520/I350 daughter card adds two 1 GbE ports and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports for flexible network connectivity. The integrated iDRAC 9 Enterprise licence enables full out-of-band remote management, monitoring and automation without an extra purchase. ReadyRails sliding rails and a front bezel are also supplied, simplifying physical installation and providing a clean rack appearance.
