Four-Socket 3U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack-mount server built around four Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors. Each CPU runs at 3.2 GHz with eight cores, providing 32 total cores for multi-threaded workloads. The system ships with 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 16 DIMM slots and includes a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache.

Suits Virtualisation and Database Clusters

Organisations running virtualised environments, in-memory databases or high-performance computing tasks will benefit from the four-socket design and large memory capacity. The eight 2.5-inch drive bays populated with 800 GB SATA SSDs deliver fast local storage. Buyers who need more than eight front-accessible drive bays or a different drive interface should consider other platforms.

512 GB DDR4 Registered ECC Memory

The installed 512 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory occupies 16 of the 48 available DIMM slots, leaving room for expansion up to 6 TB. This memory configuration determines how many virtual machines or how large a dataset can reside in RAM without swapping. Verify that the capacity and registered ECC requirement match your application before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will the server boot with the four Xeon Gold 6134 processors already installed, or do I need to add a CPU myself?

The unit ships with four Xeon Gold 6134 3.2 GHz 8-core processors installed, reaching the maximum of four sockets, so no additional CPUs are required.

Can I keep my existing DDR4 registered ECC modules and add them to the 512 GB already inside?

Yes, the system has 48 DDR4 slots and supports up to 6 TB total, so your compatible registered ECC modules can fill the remaining slots alongside the 16×32 GB sticks installed.

How do I confirm the PERC H730P sees all eight 800 GB SSDs and the RAID array is healthy?

Open the controller BIOS during boot or log into iDRAC9 Enterprise; both show each 800 GB SATA SSD, the virtual disk status, and battery-backed cache condition.
