4-Socket 3U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack server fitted with four Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors running at 3.2 GHz with a 3.7 GHz turbo. Each processor provides eight cores, giving 32 cores total. The system ships with 512 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 16 slots and uses the Intel C620 chipset.

Suits dense compute and memory-heavy workloads

This configuration targets environments that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a compact rack footprint. The 8-core processors and 512 GB DDR4 support virtualization, database and analytics tasks. Buyers who require more than four sockets, GPU expansion or storage beyond the eight 2.5-inch bays should consider other platforms.

8x 2.4 TB SAS drives with H730P RAID

Storage is provided by eight 2.4 TB 10K SAS hard drives connected to a Dell PERC H730P 2 GB controller. The controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Network connectivity comes from an Intel X520/I350 quad-port daughter card with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports. iDRAC 9 Enterprise and redundant 1600 W platinum power supplies are included.

Questions about this item

What maintenance or replacement will the PERC H730P controller's battery need?

The PERC H730P includes a battery-backed cache module; the battery typically requires replacement every three to five years to maintain write-back cache protection during power loss.

What limit appears first when all four Xeon Gold 6134 processors run at 3.2 GHz continuously?

The 1600 W redundant power supplies and 3U chassis cooling define the thermal and power ceiling; sustained full-load operation will hit the platform power budget before individual CPU turbo limits.

How much noise and heat do the dual 1600 W power supplies and eight 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives produce under all-day load?

Dual 1600 W platinum supplies and eight 10K SAS drives generate significant airflow demand; expect data-centre noise levels and heat output that require rack-level cooling, not office-grade acoustics.
