DELL PowerEdge R940 3U Rack Server 4x Xeon Gold 6130 2.1GHz 16-Core 768GB DDR4 2x 400GB SSD H730P

Mission-critical 4-socket server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack server built for heavy database, virtualization and in-memory workloads. Four Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors deliver 64 cores at 2.1 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo capability. A total of 768 GB DDR4 registered ECC memory occupies 24 of the 48 available slots.

Suited for dense compute, not compact builds

Organisations running large-scale ERP, analytics or virtualisation clusters will benefit from the four-socket design and 6 TB maximum memory ceiling. The 3U chassis and 1600 W redundant power supplies demand full-height rack space and substantial cooling; teams needing a 1U or 2U footprint or lower power draw should consider different form factors.

Four CPUs and 48 DIMM slots define capacity

With the maximum of four processors already installed, the 48 DDR4 slots and 6 TB memory limit become the decisive specifications for future expansion. Buyers planning larger memory footprints must verify slot availability and population rules before adding modules.
