Four-socket Xeon server for mission-critical

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack server 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 eight 16 GB modules. The system targets organisations that need dense compute for databases, virtualisation or real-time analytics in a compact rack footprint.

Tool-less rails and hot-swap components simplify

Ready Rails and a front bezel are included for quick rack mounting. All eight 2.5-inch drive bays and both 1600 W platinum power supplies are hot-swappable, so failed drives or PSUs can be replaced without downtime. The PERC H730P controller battery protects cached writes during power loss. Buyers without 10 GbE SFP+ switching infrastructure cannot use the X520 ports at full speed.

3.2 TB of enterprise SATA SSD storage

Eight 400 GB SATA SSDs deliver 3.2 TB raw capacity behind the H730P controller, which supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through. Memory scales to 6 TB across 48 DIMM slots for workloads that outgrow the factory 128 GB. The four-socket maximum is already populated, so CPU expansion is not possible.

Questions about this item

How do I verify all four Xeon Gold 5120 processors are detected after installation?

In the BIOS or iDRAC9 Enterprise inventory you should see four CPUs listed, each showing 14 cores at 2.2 GHz base clock.

What comes in the box and what must I source separately?

The unit ships with 4x Xeon Gold 5120 CPUs, 128GB DDR4 (8x 16GB), 8x 400GB SATA SSDs, PERC H730P controller, X520/I350 quad-port network card, iDRAC9 Enterprise, 2x 1600W PSUs, rails and bezel; you add only an OS and any extra drives or memory.

Which memory capacity should I choose for this 48-slot platform?

The server has 48 DDR4 slots and supports up to 6TB; the included 128GB (8x 16GB) leaves 40 slots free for future expansion.
