DELL PowerEdge R940 3U Rack Server 4x Xeon Gold 6134 3.2GHz 768GB DDR4 8x 400GB SSD H730P

Four-socket Xeon Gold server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack server built around four Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors running at 3.2 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 modules and eight 400 GB SATA solid-state drives managed by a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache. Dual 1600 W redundant power supplies, iDRAC 9 Enterprise and ready rails complete the package.

Fits dense compute and memory workloads

This platform suits organisations running virtualisation, in-memory databases or high-thread-count applications that benefit from 32 total cores and a 6 TB memory ceiling. Buyers who need more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays or a different drive interface will require a different platform. Workloads that rely on GPU acceleration or single-thread frequency above 3.7 GHz are also outside the design envelope.

768 GB DDR4 2666 MHz installed memory

The system arrives with 768 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory populated in 24 of 48 slots, leaving room to scale toward the 6 TB maximum. This specification determines whether the server can handle the intended dataset size without immediate memory upgrades.
