DELL PowerEdge R940 3U rack server 4× Xeon Platinum 8160 2.1GHz 24-core 768GB DDR4 2× 400GB SSD H730P

Four-socket Xeon Platinum 8160 server for heavy

The PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack server built around four Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors running at 2.1GHz with 24 cores each. It ships with 768GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730P controller driving two 400GB SATA SSDs. Redundant 1600W power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management are included.

Suits dense compute needs.

This system fits teams that need maximum processor density and memory capacity in a standard 3U form factor. Quad-socket scaling supports heavy virtualization, in-memory databases, and parallel workloads. Buyers who need only one or two processors should look at smaller platforms.

48 DDR4 slots and four LGA 3647 sockets

The board provides 48 memory slots with a 6TB maximum capacity, populated here with 24 modules of 32GB DDR4-2666. Four LGA 3647 sockets are fully occupied by the Platinum 8160 CPUs, so no further processor upgrades are possible. The H730P controller handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60 across the eight 2.5-inch drive bays.
