3U 4-Socket Xeon Server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack server equipped with four Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors running at 3.2 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo. Each CPU provides eight cores, delivering thirty-two cores total. The system includes 512 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across sixteen 32 GB modules and a PERC H730P 2 GB storage controller.

Suits dense virtualisation and database workloads

This configuration fits organisations that need maximum core count and memory capacity in a 3U form factor with redundant 1600 W platinum power supplies. Quad-port networking with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports is integrated. Buyers who require more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays or a different memory capacity should evaluate other chassis options.

Eight 400 GB SATA SSDs installed

The server ships with eight Dell Enterprise 400 GB SATA 6 Gb/s 2.5-inch solid-state drives connected to the H730P controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through. Forty-eight DIMM slots allow expansion up to 6 TB of DDR4 memory. iDRAC 9 Enterprise provides remote management out of the box.

Questions about this item

How many drive bays are available for future SSD or HDD replacement in the R940?

The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch bays, all currently occupied by the installed 400 GB SATA SSDs.

Which component reaches its maximum capacity first when all four Xeon Gold 6134 processors run at full load?

The four-socket limit is already reached with the four installed CPUs, so no additional processors can be added.

What is the power supply rating and how does it affect heat output during continuous operation?

Dual redundant 1600 W platinum-efficiency units supply power, converting most input energy to compute rather than waste heat.
