  • Redundant 1600 W platinum power supplies with hot-swap keep the server running

Four-Socket Xeon Platform

The Dell PowerEdge R940 packs four Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors, each running at 3.2 GHz with eight cores and a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. This 3U rack server targets organisations that run memory-intensive databases, virtualisation clusters or analytics workloads needing up to 6 TB of DDR4 capacity across 48 slots.

Dual 1600 Watt Platinum Supplies

Redundant hot-swap power supplies rated at 1600 watts with platinum efficiency deliver continuous operation during a module failure. The four-socket design draws significant power under load, so the redundant units share the burden while keeping thermal output manageable in a standard 3U airflow path.

Eight-Bay SAS Chassis With Quad-Port Networking

The front panel holds eight 2.5-inch SAS bays populated with two 300 GB 10 K drives behind a PERC H730P controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. A quad-port daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links, while iDRAC 9 Enterprise and ready rails simplify remote deployment and rack mounting.

Questions about this item

How do I install the four Xeon Gold 6134 processors into the LGA 3647 sockets, and what step is often missed?

Align each processor with the socket keying, lower the load plate, and torque the retention mechanism in the prescribed sequence; the step often missed is applying the correct torque pattern across all four sockets before closing the chassis.

Which components will need replacement first under continuous operation?

The two 300GB 10K SAS drives and the H730P controller battery are the field-replaceable units with the shortest service interval.

What limit appears first when the server runs sustained workloads?

The 1600W platinum power supplies set the thermal-power ceiling; total system draw cannot exceed their combined rating without triggering protective throttling.
