  • Four Xeon Gold 6130 processors deliver 64 total cores for heavy workloads
  • 512 GB DDR4 ECC memory supports large datasets and virtualisation
  • PERC H730P controller enables RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60
  • Eight 600 GB 10K SAS drives provide fast redundant storage
  • Dual 1600 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise ensure uptime

Four-socket Xeon server for mission-critical

The 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 running databases, virtualisation clusters or analytics that demand high core counts and large memory capacity in a compact footprint.

SAS controller limits drive choices to spinning

The PERC H730P handles 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA drives but the installed bays are populated with eight 600 GB 10 K SAS hard disks. No solid-state drives are fitted, so write-heavy workloads that need flash latency will require a storage reconfiguration.

512 GB DDR4 registered ECC with room to grow

Sixteen 32 GB modules fill 16 of the 48 available slots, leaving 32 slots open for expansion up to the 6 TB platform maximum. Buyers needing more memory today must add modules rather than replace the existing ones.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 512GB DDR4 configuration or add more memory later?

The system ships with 512GB across 16 slots leaving 32 slots free for expansion up to 6TB using DDR4 2666MHz registered ECC modules.

What does the 3.7GHz turbo frequency deliver in a live workload?

Each Xeon Gold 6130 can boost from 2.1GHz to 3.7GHz on active cores giving higher single-thread speed for database or virtualization bursts.

How does the 12Gb/s SAS controller limit drive throughput?

The PERC H730P runs at 12Gb/s per SAS lane so the eight 600GB 10K drives share that bandwidth with RAID overhead reducing peak sequential rates.
