DELL PowerEdge R940 3U Rack Server 4× Xeon Gold 6148 2.4GHz 20-Core 512GB DDR4 H730P 8× 2.5" Trays

Four-socket Xeon Gold 6148 platform

This 3U rack server delivers four Intel Xeon Gold 6148 processors at 2.40 GHz with 20 cores each and 512 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory. The Dell PERC H730P controller manages SAS or SATA drives across eight 2.5-inch hot-swap trays. Dual 1600 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise remote management come standard. Ready rails and a front bezel are included.

Suits dense virtualisation and database workloads

Organisations that need maximum core count and memory capacity in a 3U footprint will match this configuration. The four-processor limit is already reached, so buyers who require further CPU expansion cannot add sockets. The eight drive trays accept only 2.5-inch SAS or SATA devices; no 3.5-inch bays are present.

PERC H730P RAID controller with 2 GB cache

The storage controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Battery-backed cache protects in-flight writes during power loss. All eight bays connect through this single controller, so storage performance scales with the installed drive mix.
