Four-Socket Xeon Platinum Server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack server populated with four Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors. Each CPU runs at 2.1 GHz with 24 cores and a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. The system ships with 64 GB of DDR4-2666 registered ECC memory across 48 slots and two 800 GB SATA SSDs managed by a PERC H730P RAID controller.

Suited for Dense Virtualisation.

This configuration targets environments that need maximum core count and memory capacity in a compact rack footprint. The quad-socket design supports heavy virtualisation, in-memory databases and real-time analytics. Organisations running single-threaded applications or small-scale workloads will not utilise the installed compute resources efficiently.

Rack-Ready with Redundant Power and Remote

The chassis occupies 3U and includes sliding rails plus a front bezel for immediate rack integration. Dual 1600 W platinum power supplies provide hot-swap redundancy. An Intel X520/I350 daughter card delivers two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports. iDRAC9 Enterprise enables full out-of-band management. The PERC H730P controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with a 2 GB cache battery.

Questions about this item

What DDR4 memory speed and form factor does the R940 require for the 48 DIMM slots?

The server uses DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC DIMMs; the installed 64 GB consists of four 16 GB modules.

Will the PERC H730P controller recognise the two 800 GB SATA SSDs already installed in the 2.5-inch bays?

Yes, the H730P supports SATA SSDs and the pair of 800 GB drives are connected to it for RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60.

How can I confirm the X520/I350 daughter card is providing both 1 GbE and 10 GbE links after installation?

Check iDRAC 9 Enterprise network inventory or the OS adapter settings — each port will show its negotiated speed of 1 GbE or 10 GbE.
