DELL PowerEdge R940 3U Rack Server 4x Xeon 8160 2.1GHz 24-Core 512GB DDR4 8x 400GB SSD H730P

Four-socket Xeon 8160 server with 512GB DDR4

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack server built around four Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 24 cores. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory spread across 16 DIMM modules and a Dell PERC H730P 2 GB storage controller. Eight 400 GB SATA SSDs are installed in the front 2.5-inch bays, and the system includes dual 1600 W platinum power supplies, iDRAC9 Enterprise, and a quad-port network daughter card.

Suited for dense virtualisation

This configuration targets organisations that need maximum core count and memory capacity in a 3U footprint for database, analytics, or virtualisation clusters. The four-socket design and 48 available DIMM slots allow scaling to 6 TB of DDR4. Buyers who need more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays, a different storage controller, or a tower form factor should consider other platforms.

48 DDR4 slots and four LGA 3647 sockets define

The server supports up to 6 TB of DDR4 memory across 48 slots and accepts a maximum of four LGA 3647 processors. Both limits are fixed by the Intel C620 chipset and the 3U chassis, so the installed 512 GB and four Xeon 8160 CPUs represent the starting point for any further expansion.
