Four-Socket Xeon Server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack server built for organisations that run memory-intensive workloads across four Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors. It arrives new with 512 GB of registered ECC DDR4 installed and eight drive bays populated with 300 GB 10K SAS disks.

512 GB DDR4 With Room To Grow

Sixteen 32 GB modules fill 16 of the 48 DDR4 slots, leaving 32 slots open for expansion up to the platform maximum of 6 TB. The PERC H730P controller manages the eight SAS drives in RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60, while the 2.5-inch bay count limits internal spindle capacity to eight devices.

Redundant Power And Remote Management

Dual 1600 W platinum power supplies and hot-swap redundancy keep the system running during a supply failure. The X520/I350 daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports for flexible network connectivity. iDRAC 9 Enterprise gives full out-of-band control, and the included rails and bezel simplify rack mounting.

Questions about this item

Will the four Xeon Gold 6134 processors and 512GB DDR4 memory work with my existing SAS storage arrays?

The server includes a PERC H730P 2GB controller that supports SAS and SATA drives with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, so your current SAS arrays can connect directly to the 12Gb/s backplane.

How can I verify the system is healthy once it is racked and powered on?

iDRAC 9 Enterprise provides remote console access and hardware health monitoring; log in through its web interface or use the front-panel LCD to confirm all four CPUs, 512GB memory and eight 300GB drives report OK.

What ships in the box and which items must I source separately?

The unit arrives with four Xeon Gold 6134 CPUs, 16x 32GB DDR4 modules, eight 300GB 10K SAS drives, H730P controller, X520/I350 quad-port NIC, iDRAC 9 Enterprise, two 1600W PSUs, bezel and ready rails; only SFP+ transceivers or additional drives need separate purchase.
