Four-socket Xeon Gold 6130 platform

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack server fitted with four Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores. It arrives with 128 GB of DDR4 ECC memory across 48 slots and a PERC H730P controller managing two 300 GB 10K SAS drives. Redundant 1600 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise are included.

Suited for dense compute.

This platform suits organisations running large databases, virtualisation clusters or in-memory analytics that benefit from four sockets and up to 6 TB of memory headroom. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or additional drive bays beyond the eight 2.5-inch slots should look at alternative chassis designs.

PERC H730P 2 GB SAS controller

The installed Dell PERC H730P provides 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity with 2 GB cache and a battery-backed write cache. It supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode, making it the decisive component for storage reliability and performance in this configuration.

Questions about this item

What rack space and power connections must already be available for this 3U server with dual 1600 W supplies?

The unit occupies 3U of rack height and requires two separate power circuits for its redundant 1600 W platinum supplies.

Can the existing 300 GB 10 K SAS drives stay in the array if I add larger SAS or SATA drives later?

Yes, the PERC H730P controller supports mixed-capacity SAS and SATA drives in the same virtual disk.

How do I confirm the four Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs and 128 GB of DDR4 are all detected after installation?

Check the iDRAC9 Enterprise inventory or the POST screen — both list each of the four 16-core processors and the 8x 16 GB memory modules.
