DELL PowerEdge R940 3U rack server 4x Xeon Gold 6134 3.2GHz 8C 64GB DDR4 8x 2.4TB SAS H730P

Mission-critical 4-socket server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack-mount server built for heavy workloads. Four Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors each run eight cores at 3.2 GHz with a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. The system ships with 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 48 DIMM slots and supports up to 6 TB total capacity.

Suited for database and virtualisation clusters

This configuration targets organisations running large databases, in-memory analytics or dense virtualisation where four sockets and high core counts matter. Eight 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives behind a PERC H730P controller deliver redundant local storage. Buyers who need GPU compute, single-threaded frequency above 3.7 GHz or a chassis smaller than 3U should evaluate other platforms.

48 DDR4 slots define maximum memory

The motherboard provides 48 DDR4 DIMM slots, so the 6 TB ceiling is only reachable by populating every slot with high-capacity modules. Current 64 GB uses just four slots, leaving ample room for growth. Confirm your memory modules are DDR4 registered ECC; other generations will not fit.
