Four-Socket Xeon Platform

This Dell PowerEdge R940 server delivers four Intel Xeon Gold 6148 processors, each running at 2.4 GHz with 20 cores. The system arrives with 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory installed across 48 available slots. It targets organisations running mission-critical workloads that demand high core counts and large memory capacity in a 3U rack footprint.

Storage Controller Limits

The PERC H730P controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode with a 2 GB cache backed by a battery. Eight 400 GB SATA SSDs are factory-installed in the 2.5-inch drive bays using a SATA interface. The controller operates at 12 Gb/s for SAS and SATA devices, but the supplied drives connect via SATA 6 Gb/s links.

Verify Rack And Power Infrastructure

Confirm your rack provides 3U of vertical space and can accommodate the included sliding rails. Two hot-swap 1600 W platinum power supplies require matching PDU outlets and sufficient circuit capacity for redundant operation. The iDRAC9 Enterprise module needs a dedicated management network connection for remote console and lifecycle control.

Questions about this item

Should I choose a configuration with fewer CPUs or less memory?

The system arrives with four Xeon Gold 6148 processors and 128 GB DDR4 already installed.

What does the 2.4 GHz base clock mean when all cores are active?

Each of the 20 cores per processor runs at a guaranteed 2.4 GHz under full load, with turbo up to 3.7 GHz when thermal headroom allows.

How fast can the PERC H730P controller move data to the 400 GB SSDs?

The H730P supports 12 Gb/s SAS and 6 Gb/s SATA links; the installed SATA SSDs operate at the 6 Gb/s interface speed.
