Four-socket Xeon platform for mission-critical

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 768 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 modules and includes a PERC H730P storage controller with 2 GB cache. Two 800 GB SATA SSDs are installed in the eight-bay 2.5-inch chassis, and dual 1600 W platinum power supplies provide redundancy.

Suited for dense virtualisation.

This configuration targets organisations that need maximum core count and memory capacity in a 3U footprint. The 64 total cores and large DDR4 pool support heavy virtualisation, database, and in-memory analytics workloads. Buyers who require higher single-thread frequency or GPU acceleration should evaluate alternative platforms. The integrated X520/I350 network daughter card delivers dual 10 GbE SFP+ and dual 1 GbE ports for flexible connectivity.

Maximum installed memory capacity of 768 GB

The system arrives with 768 GB populated across 24 of 48 available DIMM slots, leaving headroom to reach the 6 TB architectural limit. Memory operates as DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC, ensuring data integrity for critical applications. Expansion beyond the factory configuration requires additional DDR4 RDIMM or LRDIMM modules compatible with the Intel C620 chipset.

Questions about this item

Does the Dell PERC H730P controller need a battery backup unit to enable write-back caching?

The H730P includes a 2GB cache with a battery module installed, so write-back caching is active without any extra hardware.

Can the four Xeon Gold 6130 processors share the 48 DIMM slots across all sockets?

Each processor connects to twelve DDR4 slots; memory must be populated evenly per socket to reach the full 768GB capacity.

How can I confirm the iDRAC9 Enterprise licence is active after first boot?

Open the iDRAC web interface — the dashboard banner will show "iDRAC9 Enterprise" and all remote-management features will be unlocked.
