DELL PowerEdge R940 3U Rack Server 4x Xeon Gold 5120 2.2GHz 14-Core 512GB DDR4 8x 800GB SSD H730P

Quad-socket Xeon server with 512GB memory

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack server that holds four Intel Xeon Gold 5120 processors running at 2.2GHz with 14 cores each. It ships with 512GB of DDR4 2400MHz registered ECC memory across 16 modules. Eight 800GB SATA SSDs and a PERC H730P 2GB controller provide storage, while dual 1600W platinum power supplies deliver redundancy.

Suited for dense compute workloads.

This configuration suits environments that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a compact rack footprint. Buyers who only require one or two processors should look at smaller platforms that cost less and consume less power. The system maxes out at four CPUs, so it cannot scale beyond the installed sockets.

48 DDR4 slots support up to 6TB total capacity

The server includes 48 memory slots populated with 16x 32GB modules, leaving room to expand toward the 6TB maximum. Each slot accepts DDR4 registered ECC DIMMs, so upgrades must match that specification. The existing 512GB installation already occupies one third of the available slots.
