DELL PowerEdge R940 3U rack server 4x Xeon Gold 6130 2.1GHz 16-core 64GB DDR4 2x 800GB SSD

Four-socket 3U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack server equipped with four Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors, each running at 2.10 GHz with 16 cores. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 48 available slots and includes a PERC H730P storage controller with 2 GB cache. Two 800 GB SATA SSDs are installed in the 2.5-inch drive bays.

Suited for dense multi-threaded workloads

This configuration targets organisations running virtualisation clusters, in-memory databases or high-performance computing tasks that benefit from 64 cores in a single 3U chassis. The quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links, while iDRAC 9 Enterprise handles remote management. Buyers who need more than 64 GB of memory out of the box or who require additional drive bays beyond the eight 2.5-inch slots should evaluate other platforms.

64 GB DDR4 across 48 slots

The installed memory totals 64 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC DIMMs, leaving 44 slots open for expansion up to the platform maximum of 6 TB. This single figure determines whether the server can accommodate the working set of your application without immediate memory upgrades.
