Four-socket Xeon server for dense compute

The Dell PowerEdge R940 packs four Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors, each with 16 cores at 2.1 GHz, into a 3U rack chassis. It targets organisations that need high thread counts for virtualisation, databases or in-memory analytics in a compact footprint.

3U chassis with integrated storage and networking

Eight 2.5-inch drive bays host 400 GB SATA SSDs behind a PERC H730P controller that supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. A quad-port daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links, while iDRAC 9 Enterprise provides out-of-band management. Dual 1600 W hot-swap power supplies and sliding rails complete the build-ready package.

Sustained throughput from 512 GB DDR4

The system runs 512 GB of registered ECC DDR4 across 48 slots, leaving room to scale toward the 6 TB maximum. Platinum-efficiency redundant supplies maintain delivery during prolonged heavy loads, and the storage controller’s battery-backed cache protects write performance during extended operations.
