DELL PowerEdge R940 3U rack server 4x Xeon Gold 6130 2.1GHz 16-core 768GB DDR4 8x 2.4TB SAS H730P

Four-Socket 3U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack-mount server system built around four Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 modules and a Dell PERC H730P 2 GB SAS controller managing eight 2.4 TB 10 K SAS drives. Dual 1600 W redundant power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise remote management are included.

Suits Dense Compute And Virtualisation Workloads

This configuration suits organisations that need maximum core density and memory capacity in a 3U footprint for database, virtualisation or high-performance computing tasks. The four-socket design and 48 DIMM slots support up to 6 TB of DDR4 for large in-memory datasets. It is not for buyers who need GPU acceleration, more than eight internal 2.5-inch drive bays, or a tower or 2U form factor.

Four Xeon Gold 6130 Processors With 16 Cores Each

The decisive specification is the four installed Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs, providing 64 total cores at 2.1 GHz base frequency with 3.7 GHz turbo capability. This processor count and core density determine whether the server can handle the intended parallel workloads and licensing costs. The LGA 3647 socket and Intel C620 chipset are fixed by this processor choice.
