DELL PowerEdge R940 3U rack server 4x Xeon Gold 6134 3.2GHz 8-core 256GB DDR4 2x 800GB SSD

Dell PowerEdge R940 3U Server

This 3U rack-mount system ships with four Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors running at 3.2 GHz, each providing eight cores for a total of thirty-two cores. It is built for organisations that run memory-intensive workloads such as large databases or virtualisation clusters and need room to grow within a compact rack footprint.

Suits buyers expanding memory or storage

The server includes 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules and has forty-eight DIMM slots available, supporting up to 6 TB when fully populated. Eight 2.5-inch drive bays and a Dell PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache provide RAID flexibility for the two installed 800 GB SATA SSDs and additional drives. Buyers who require more than four processor sockets or a tower form factor should consider a different platform.

Four-socket Xeon Gold 6134 configuration

Four sockets are already populated to the maximum, delivering 3.2 GHz base frequency with 3.7 GHz turbo across thirty-two cores. The LGA 3647 socket and Intel C620 chipset define the upgrade boundary, so any future processor change must match this generation. This fixed four-socket ceiling is the specification that determines whether the chassis meets the required scale.
