Four-socket Xeon Gold server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack system built around four Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors. Each CPU delivers 16 cores at a base frequency of 2.1 GHz with a 3.7 GHz turbo. The platform targets organisations that run mission-critical workloads requiring high core density in a compact footprint.

128 GB DDR4 with 48 slots for growth

The server ships with 128 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory populated across eight 16 GB modules. Forty-eight DIMM slots support a maximum capacity of 6 TB, giving ample headroom for in-memory databases or virtualisation clusters. Storage is handled by a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache driving two 400 GB SATA SSDs in the 2.5-inch bays.

Dual 1600 W platinum supplies and iDRAC9

Redundant hot-swap 1600 watt platinum-efficiency power supplies maintain uptime during a module failure. The Intel X520/I350 daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports for flexible networking. Integrated iDRAC9 Enterprise enables remote management and monitoring without requiring a dedicated console.

Questions about this item

Will the four Xeon Gold 6130 processors at 2.1 GHz fit my existing LGA 3647 motherboard?

The server includes four Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs installed in LGA 3647 sockets; they are not a separate upgrade for another board.

How can I confirm the PERC H730P controller and 128 GB DDR4 memory are active after installation?

Use iDRAC 9 Enterprise to view the controller firmware version and the 8x 16 GB DDR4 2666 MHz modules in the system inventory.

What ships with the R940 and what must I source separately for storage expansion?

The unit includes 2x 400 GB SATA SSDs, H730P controller, X520/I350 network card, iDRAC 9 Enterprise, 2x 1600 W PSUs, rails and bezel; additional 2.5" drives are purchased separately.
