Dell PowerEdge R940 3U Server for Mission-Critical

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack server built for mission-critical applications and real-time decision making. It ships with four Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors, each running at 3.2 GHz with eight cores. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 48 available slots. Dual 1600 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise provide redundancy and remote management.

Suited for Four-Socket Density.

This server suits organisations that need maximum processor density and memory capacity in a 3U form factor. The four-socket design supports up to 6 TB of DDR4 across 48 DIMM slots for large in-memory databases or virtualisation clusters. Buyers who only need single or dual-socket performance should look at smaller platforms. The eight 2.5-inch drive bays limit internal storage count compared to larger chassis.

PERC H730P Controller Defines RAID and Drive Support

The Dell PERC H730P 2 GB controller manages the SAS and SATA drives with support for RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Two 300 GB 10 K SAS drives are installed in the eight-bay backplane. The controller choice determines which RAID levels and drive protocols are available for the configuration.

Questions about this item

What is included in the box and what must be purchased separately?

The server ships with four Xeon Gold 6134 processors, 256 GB of DDR4 memory, a PERC H730P controller with battery, two 300 GB SAS drives, a quad-port network daughter card, iDRAC 9 Enterprise, two 1600 W platinum power supplies, ready rails and a front bezel. Additional drives or memory modules are not included.

Which memory capacity should I choose if I need room to grow?

The system has 48 DDR4 slots and supports up to 6 TB. The current 256 GB configuration uses eight 32 GB modules, leaving 40 slots free for future expansion with compatible registered ECC DDR4.

What does the 3.2 GHz base clock mean for actual workloads?

Each of the four 8-core Xeon Gold 6134 CPUs runs at 3.2 GHz base and can boost to 3.7 GHz, giving 32 total cores for parallel tasks such as virtualization, databases or real-time analytics.
