Four-Socket 3U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack server populated with four Intel Xeon Gold 5120 processors, each running at 2.2 GHz with 14 cores. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 16 modules and includes a PERC H730P RAID controller with battery backup.

Suits Heavy Virtualisation.

This configuration targets buyers who need high core counts and large memory capacity for virtualisation or database tasks, backed by redundant 1600 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management. It does not suit users who only require a single-socket or dual-socket platform.

48 DIMM Slots Decide Maximum Memory

The system provides 48 DDR4 DIMM slots with a maximum supported capacity of 6 TB. This slot count and ceiling determine whether the server can meet future memory expansion requirements for the intended workload.

Questions about this item

Should I choose this 512GB DDR4 configuration or add more memory later?

The system has 48 slots and supports up to 6TB, so the installed 512GB leaves room to scale.

What does the 2.2GHz base clock with 3.2GHz turbo mean for real workloads?

Four 14-core Xeon Gold 5120 processors run at 2.2GHz and can boost to 3.2GHz when thermal headroom allows.

How does the PERC H730P controller limit drive performance?

The H730P provides 12Gb/s SAS/SATA connectivity with 2GB cache and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60.
