DELL PowerEdge R940 3U rack server 4x Xeon Gold 6130 2.1GHz 16-core 64GB DDR4 8x 600GB SAS H730P

Four-socket Xeon Gold server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack server populated with four Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 48 available slots and a PERC H730P controller managing eight 600 GB 10K SAS drives. Dual 1600 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management complete the mission-critical package.

Suits dense virtualisation and database clusters

Organisations consolidating heavy virtualisation, in-memory databases or real-time analytics workloads into a single 3U chassis will benefit from the 64 physical cores and 6 TB maximum memory ceiling. The eight 2.5-inch SAS bays and quad-port 1 GbE plus dual 10 GbE SFP+ networking fit typical rack-density requirements. Buyers who need more than eight drive bays or who require GPU acceleration should evaluate alternative platforms.

6 TB maximum DDR4 capacity

The platform supports up to 6 TB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 48 DIMM slots, making total memory capacity the decisive specification for large-scale virtualisation or in-memory workloads. Current configuration provides 64 GB, leaving substantial headroom for future expansion within the same chassis.
