DELL PowerEdge R940 3U Rack Server 4x Xeon Gold 6130 2.1GHz 16-Core 512GB DDR4 8x 2.4TB SAS

Dell PowerEdge R940 3U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rackmount server system built for mission-critical workloads. It ships new with four Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors, each running at 2.10 GHz with 16 cores. The system includes 512 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 16 modules. A Dell PERC H730P 2 GB storage controller manages eight 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives in the front 2.5 inch bays.

Suits virtualization and database clusters needing

This server suits organisations running large virtualisation clusters, in-memory databases or ERP systems that benefit from 64 total cores and 512 GB of RAM in a 3U chassis. The dual 1600 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management support high-availability requirements. Buyers who need more than 48 DIMM slots or a different drive interface should evaluate other platforms.

Four-socket Xeon Gold 6130 configuration defines

The defining specification is the installed four-socket configuration using Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors at 2.10 GHz with 16 cores each. This fixes the maximum processor count at four and provides 64 total cores with a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. The LGA 3647 socket and Intel C620 chipset determine compatible upgrades, while the 48 memory slots allow expansion up to 6 TB of DDR4.
