Mission-critical 4-socket server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack server built for heavy multi-threaded workloads. Four Xeon Platinum 8160 processors deliver 24 cores each at 2.1 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo. The system ships with 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller managing two 300 GB 10K SAS drives. Dual 1600 W redundant power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise remote management complete the base configuration.

Scalable memory and I/O for dense compute

This platform suits organisations that need maximum core density and memory capacity in a 3U form factor. Forty-eight DIMM slots support up to 6 TB of DDR4, and the X520/I350 daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports. Buyers who need more than four sockets, GPU acceleration, or direct-attached U.2 storage should evaluate alternative platforms.

Four Xeon Platinum 8160 processors installed

The server arrives with the maximum complement of four CPUs already fitted, so no additional processor upgrades are possible. Each chip is a 24-core Xeon Platinum 8160 running at 2.1 GHz base frequency with 3.7 GHz turbo capability. This fixed processor count defines the licensing and performance ceiling for the system.

Questions about this item

Does the server need any additional memory modules to reach the 6TB maximum capacity?

The system ships with 64GB across four 16GB DDR4 2666MHz registered ECC modules and has 48 total slots, so extra DDR4 modules are required to reach the 6TB limit.

Can the existing 300GB 10K SAS drives stay in the chassis if I add larger SAS or SATA drives later?

Yes, the PERC H730P controller supports mixed SAS and SATA drives, and the 2.5-inch bays accept additional drives alongside the two factory-installed 300GB units.

How can I verify the quad-port X520/I350 network card is operating at 10Gb SFP+ speeds after installation?

Check the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface or the OS network adapter settings; both will show the two 10Gb SFP+ ports and two 1GbE ports running at their negotiated link speeds.
