DELL PowerEdge R940 3U Rack Server 4x Xeon Gold 6130 2.1GHz 16-Core 256GB DDR4 8x 300GB SAS H730P

Four-Socket Xeon Gold 6130 Server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack server equipped with four Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors. Each CPU runs at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores and a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. The system ships with 256 GB of DDR4 memory across eight 32 GB modules and includes a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache.

Suited for Multi-Threaded Database

This configuration targets workloads that benefit from 64 total cores and large memory capacity, such as database clusters, virtualisation hosts and in-memory analytics. The four-socket design and 48 DIMM slots support expansion up to 6 TB of RAM. It is not appropriate for buyers who need single-socket or dual-socket density, GPU compute bays, or a chassis smaller than 3U.

SAS Storage with Eight 300 GB 10K Drives

The server provides eight 2.5-inch drive bays populated with 300 GB 10 000 RPM SAS hard drives connected to the H730P RAID controller. The controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 modes. Buyers requiring solid-state media, larger capacity per bay, or a different drive interface should evaluate alternative configurations.
