Four-socket Xeon Gold server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 packs four Intel Xeon Gold 6148 processors, each running at 2.4 GHz with 20 cores and a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 48 DIMM slots. The system targets organisations running mission-critical workloads that demand high core counts and large memory capacity in a compact 3U rack form factor.

Dual 1600 W redundant power

Two hot-swap 1600 W platinum-efficiency power supplies provide full redundancy, allowing one unit to fail without interrupting operation. The 3U chassis uses forced-air cooling designed for dense four-socket configurations, moving heat away from the CPUs, memory and storage controller under sustained load. Fan speeds scale with thermal sensors to balance airflow against acoustic output in the rack environment.

8-bay 2.5" storage and quad-port networking

Eight front-accessible 2.5-inch drive bays accept SATA or SAS media; two 400 GB SATA SSDs are installed behind a Dell PERC H730P 2 GB RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. A quad-port network daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections. iDRAC 9 Enterprise enables full out-of-band remote management. Rails and a front bezel are included for immediate rack mounting.

Questions about this item

How do I install the Dell PERC H730P controller and what step is often missed?

Seat the H730P in a PCIe slot, connect the SAS cables to the backplane, then attach the included battery module to the controller so write-back caching is protected during power loss.

What maintenance will the two 400GB SATA SSDs need later?

Monitor the SSD wear indicator in iDRAC9 Enterprise and replace each drive once its rated write endurance is reached to avoid data loss.

What thermal limit appears first when all four Xeon Gold 6148 CPUs run at 3.7 GHz turbo continuously?

The 1600 W redundant power supplies will hit their current limit before the chassis airflow reaches its maximum, throttling the processors to stay within the power budget.
