DELL PowerEdge R940 3U Rack Server 4x Xeon Gold 5118 2.3GHz 12C 512GB DDR4 8x 400GB SSD H730P

Mission-critical 4-socket server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack server built for workloads that demand four Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors, each running at 2.30 GHz with 12 cores. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 16 modules and includes a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache. Eight 400 GB SATA SSDs provide the primary storage pool. Redundant 1600 W platinum power supplies, iDRAC9 Enterprise, and a quad-port 1 GbE and 10 Gb SFP+ network daughter card complete the platform.

Database and virtualisation teams needing maximum

This system suits organisations that require the full four-socket capacity of the Intel C620 chipset and can populate up to 48 DIMM slots for a 6 TB memory ceiling. It is not for buyers who need GPU acceleration, workloads that favour higher single-core frequencies, or configurations that exceed the eight 2.5-inch drive bays provided. Teams wanting more than 512 GB of memory out of the box or a different drive interface should evaluate alternative platforms.

512 GB DDR4 registered ECC memory installed

The server arrives with 512 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory installed in 16 of the 48 available slots, leaving headroom to scale toward the 6 TB maximum. This specification determines whether the immediate capacity matches the application footprint or whether additional modules must be procured before deployment.
