Quad-socket Xeon Gold 6130 rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rackmount server system built around four Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory and eight 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives on a PERC H730P controller. Dual 1600 W redundant power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise remote management come standard.

Suited for dense compute and memory workloads

This configuration fits organisations running virtualisation clusters, in-memory databases or ERP systems that benefit from 64 total cores and up to 6 TB maximum memory capacity across 48 slots. The quad-port X520/I350 network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links. Buyers needing GPU compute or more than eight drive bays in a single chassis should evaluate other platforms.

PERC H730P RAID controller with battery-backed cache

The installed H730P supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode, with a 2 GB cache protected by a battery. It manages the eight SAS drives at 12 Gb/s and can also address SATA media. This single component determines both storage redundancy options and the maximum array performance available to the four processors.

Questions about this item

How long will the PERC H730P controller battery last before it needs replacement?

The PERC H730P includes a battery-backed cache; typical battery life is several years under normal operation, after which the module can be swapped without removing the controller.

What is the first thermal or power limit reached when all four Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs run at sustained load?

Each processor has a base frequency of 2.1 GHz and a turbo of 3.7 GHz; under continuous all-core workloads the 1600 W redundant power supplies and chassis cooling define the practical ceiling.

How much power do the dual 1600 W platinum PSUs draw when the server idles versus full load?

With 128 GB DDR4, eight 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives and four 16-core CPUs installed, idle draw is a fraction of the 1600 W rating while full load approaches the supply capacity.
