DELL PowerEdge R940 3U rack server 4x Xeon Gold 5120 2.2GHz 14-core 512GB DDR4 8x 600GB SAS H730P

Four-socket 3U rack 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 storage controller with 2 GB cache. Eight 600 GB 10K SAS drives and dual 1600 W platinum power supplies are installed.

Suits dense compute and database workloads

This configuration suits organisations that need maximum core count and memory capacity in a 3U footprint for virtualisation, in-memory databases or high-performance computing. It is not for buyers who require a tower form factor, single-socket economics or GPU-accelerated workloads beyond the provided network daughter card.

48 DDR4 slots define memory ceiling

The system provides 48 DDR4 DIMM slots with a maximum supported capacity of 6 TB, so the installed 512 GB can be expanded significantly. The LGA 3647 socket and Intel C620 chipset lock the platform to this processor generation, limiting future CPU upgrades to compatible Xeon Scalable parts.
