Rack server with four Xeon Gold 6134 CPUs

This 3U Dell PowerEdge R940 arrives new with four Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors running at 3.2 GHz and 8 cores each. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 48 slots and a PERC H730P controller managing eight 400 GB SATA SSDs. Dual 1600 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management complete the mission-critical platform.

Suits dense compute and virtualisation workloads

Organisations running large databases, in-memory analytics or heavy virtualisation benefit from the four-socket design and 6 TB maximum memory capacity. The quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links for flexible connectivity. Buyers who need GPU acceleration should evaluate alternative platforms.

Eight-bay 2.5-inch SATA SSD storage

The chassis holds eight 2.5-inch drives connected through the H730P controller with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 support. All installed drives are 400 GB SATA SSDs. Builders who require a different drive interface or higher individual capacity must select another server.

Questions about this item

How do I install the Dell PERC H730P controller and what step is often missed?

Seat the PERC H730P in the dedicated internal storage slot, connect the SAS cables to the backplane, then configure RAID in the controller BIOS before the OS loads.

What maintenance will the eight 400GB SATA SSDs require over time?

Monitor SSD wear via the PERC H730P or iDRAC9 Enterprise; replace any drive that reaches its write-endurance limit or shows predictive failure alerts.

What limit appears first when all four Xeon Gold 6134 CPUs run at 3.7GHz turbo continuously?

The dual 1600W Platinum power supplies set the thermal and electrical ceiling; sustained turbo across all cores will hit that power envelope before CPU thermal throttling activates.
