DELL PowerEdge R940 3U rack server 4x Xeon Gold 6142 2.6GHz 16-core 64GB DDR4 8x 300GB SAS H730P

Mission-Critical Four-Socket Server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack server built for workloads that demand four Intel Xeon Gold 6142 processors. Each CPU runs at 2.60 GHz with 16 cores and a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. The system ships with 64 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 48 slots. Eight 300 GB 10K SAS drives connect to a PERC H730P 2 GB controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 1600 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management complete the package.

Ideal for Dense Compute and Virtualisation

This configuration suits organisations running large databases, virtualisation clusters or in-memory analytics that benefit from 64 total cores and up to 6 TB of memory capacity. The quad-port X520/I350 daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links for high-throughput networking. Buyers who need only one or two processor sockets, or who prefer solid-state storage over 10K SAS hard drives, should evaluate different platforms.

PERC H730P RAID Controller Decides Storage Topology

The installed PERC H730P 2 GB controller determines which RAID levels are available and whether the eight 2.5-inch bays can accommodate SAS or SATA drives. Its battery-backed cache enables write-back policies for RAID 5, 6, 50 and 60. Confirm that your application’s I/O profile matches these RAID options before deployment.
