Four-Socket 3U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rackmount server system equipped with four Intel Xeon Gold 6142 processors, each running at 2.6 GHz with 16 cores. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 modules and includes a Dell PERC H730P 2 GB storage controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Eight 400 GB SATA SSDs are installed in the 2.5-inch drive bays.

Suited for High-Density Compute

This server suits organisations that need maximum processor density and memory capacity in a compact 3U form factor for virtualisation, database or in-memory analytics workloads. Redundant 1600 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management support continuous operation. Buyers who require more than eight drive bays, a different storage interface or GPU expansion capability should evaluate other platforms.

768 GB DDR4 Installed Memory

The system arrives with 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory installed across 24 of the 48 available DIMM slots, leaving room to scale toward the 6 TB maximum capacity. Memory speed is 2666 MHz. Confirm that your workload fits within this starting allocation or plan for additional DDR4 modules to reach the desired total.
