Mission-critical 3U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a four-socket rack server built for mission-critical workloads. Four Intel Xeon Gold 6142 processors deliver 16 cores each at 2.6 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo. The system ships with 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache.

Suited for dense database and virtualisation hosts

Organisations running large databases, in-memory analytics or heavy virtualisation clusters will benefit from the 6 TB maximum memory capacity and 48 DIMM slots. Buyers who need more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays or who require a different network interface than the installed quad-port 1 GbE and 10 GbE SFP+ card should evaluate other platforms.

Four-socket Xeon Gold 6142 configuration

The defining specification is the four installed Xeon Gold 6142 CPUs providing 64 total cores in a 3U form factor. This density determines whether the server fits the performance envelope for the target workload.

Questions about this item

Will my existing SATA drives work with the H730P controller in this R940?

The Dell PERC H730P supports both SAS and SATA drives, so your current SATA drives are compatible with the controller installed in this server.

How can I verify the four Xeon Gold 6142 processors are all detected and running at 2.6 GHz?

Use iDRAC 9 Enterprise or the system BIOS to confirm all four processors are present and operating at the rated 2.6 GHz base frequency.

Does the box include the 24 DDR4 memory modules and the two 800 GB SSDs shown in the spec?

Yes, the system ships with 24 registered ECC DDR4 modules totalling 768 GB and two Dell Enterprise 800 GB SATA SSDs already installed.
