DELL PowerEdge R940 3U Rack Server 4x Xeon Gold 6130 2.1GHz 16-Core 512GB DDR4 8x 300GB SAS H730P

Four-socket Xeon Gold 6130 server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack-mount server system built around four Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors, each running at 2.10 GHz with 16 cores. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 16 modules and uses the Intel C620 chipset on an LGA 3647 platform. Redundant hot-swap 1600 W platinum power supplies, iDRAC 9 Enterprise remote management, ready rails and a front bezel complete the configuration.

Suits heavy virtualization and in-memory workloads

This system targets organisations running large-scale virtualisation, database or in-memory analytics that benefit from 64 total cores and half a terabyte of RAM. The eight 300 GB 10K SAS drives and PERC H730P controller deliver hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with battery-backed cache. Buyers who need solid-state storage, GPU acceleration or greater internal drive density should evaluate alternative platforms.

512 GB DDR4 registered ECC memory installed

The server arrives with 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory populated in 16 of 48 DIMM slots, leaving headroom to reach the 6 TB maximum. Memory speed is 2666 MHz and the architecture requires registered ECC modules; unbuffered or non-ECC DIMMs are not compatible. Confirm your application’s memory footprint against this baseline before purchase.
