DELL PowerEdge R940 3U Rack Server 4x Xeon Gold 6142 2.6GHz 16C 768GB DDR4 H730P

Four-socket Xeon Gold 6142 server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack server fitted with four Intel Xeon Gold 6142 processors running at 2.6 GHz with a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. Each CPU provides 16 cores, giving 64 cores in total. The system includes 768 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730P 2 GB storage controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through.

Suits dense compute workloads.

This server targets organisations that run memory-intensive databases, virtualisation clusters or real-time analytics and require four-socket scaling in a 3U form factor. It provides an Intel X520/I350 quad-port network daughter card with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections and iDRAC 9 Enterprise for remote management. Buyers who only need a single processor or fewer memory slots should consider smaller platforms.

768 GB DDR4 in 24 DIMMs decides fit

The installed memory uses 24 modules of 32 GB DDR4 registered ECC, leaving 24 of the 48 total slots free for expansion up to the 6 TB maximum. The chassis holds eight 2.5-inch SAS/SATA drive trays without drives, and power comes from redundant 1600 W platinum-efficiency supplies. Confirm that your workload fits the LGA 3647 socket and C620 chipset before ordering.
