DELL PowerEdge R940 3U Rack Server 4x Xeon Gold 5118 2.3GHz 12-Core 768GB DDR4 8x 300GB SAS H730P

Four-socket Xeon server for mission-critical

The Dell PowerEdge R940 packs four Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors, each with 12 cores running at 2.3 GHz and a 3.2 GHz turbo. With 768 GB of DDR4-2400 registered ECC memory across 24 modules, it targets databases, virtualization and real-time analytics that demand high core counts and large memory capacity in a 3U rack form factor.

Verify rack space power and memory expansion room

Confirm your cabinet can accommodate a 3U chassis and that your power distribution can feed dual 1600 W platinum supplies. The system uses LGA 3647 sockets and the Intel C620 chipset with all four processor slots populated, so no further CPU upgrades are possible. Forty-eight DIMM slots exist in total; twenty-four are occupied by 32 GB modules leaving twenty-four slots open for growth toward the 6 TB maximum.

PERC H730P controller

The bundled PERC H730P adds 2 GB cache and supports RAID 0 1 5 6 10 50 60 plus pass-through for the eight 300 GB 10K SAS drives. A daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports for flexible network connectivity. iDRAC 9 Enterprise enables full remote management while ready rails and a front bezel simplify installation.
