Four-socket Xeon platform for mission-critical

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack server equipped with four Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores each. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 48 available slots. This configuration targets organisations running large databases, virtualisation clusters or in-memory analytics that demand high core counts and memory capacity in a compact form factor.

Redundant 1600 W platinum power supplies

Dual 1600 watt platinum-efficiency power supplies provide full redundancy with hot-swap replacement. The 3U chassis supports redundant cooling and hot-swap drive bays, allowing component service without downtime. Power draw scales with the four-processor load and eight solid-state drives, while the platinum-rated units maintain high efficiency across typical utilisation ranges.

PERC H730P RAID controller

The integrated PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes for the eight 400 GB SATA SSDs. A Dell Intel X520/I350 daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports for flexible network connectivity. iDRAC 9 Enterprise enables comprehensive remote management, while ready rails and a front bezel simplify rack installation.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 2.5" SSDs into the 8-bay front chassis and which step is commonly missed?

Slide each 400GB SATA SSD into the hot-swap bays until the latch clicks; the step often missed is creating the virtual disk in the PERC H730P BIOS before the OS sees the drives.

Which components will need replacement first and what are the intervals?

The PERC H730P battery-backed cache module typically needs replacement after 3–5 years; the redundant 1600W platinum PSUs and hot-swap fans are field-replaceable but rarely fail under normal loads.

What thermal or power limit appears first when all four Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs run at 3.7GHz turbo continuously?

The 1600W redundant power supplies set the ceiling; sustained all-core turbo on four 16-core processors can exceed the combined budget, causing throttling before the 3U chassis airflow becomes the bottleneck.
