Mission-critical 4-socket server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack system built around four Intel Xeon Gold 5120 processors, each running at 2.2 GHz with 14 cores. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 48 available slots and includes a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache. Two 800 GB SATA SSDs provide initial storage capacity.

Build integration and expansion

The chassis supports up to eight 2.5-inch drives and uses redundant hot-swap 1600 W platinum power supplies. A quad-port network daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections. iDRAC9 Enterprise enables remote management, while rails and a front bezel are included for immediate rack mounting.

Sustained-load behaviour

Four 14-core CPUs with a 3.2 GHz turbo frequency deliver consistent throughput for virtualisation and database workloads. The H730P controller supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with battery-backed cache. Redundant power and hot-swap components maintain uptime during extended operation.

Questions about this item

Does the 3U chassis limit the number of drives I can install?

The server supports up to eight 2.5-inch drives in its 3U rack form factor.

What are the power and heat characteristics of the dual 1600-watt supplies under full load?

Redundant 1600-watt platinum-efficiency units share the load, keeping heat output lower than single-supply designs.

Which memory type must already be on hand for expansion beyond the installed 128GB?

DDR4 registered ECC modules are required to populate the remaining DIMM slots.
