DELL PowerEdge R940 3U Rack Server 4x Xeon Gold 6148 2.4GHz 20C 512GB DDR4 2x 400GB SSD H730P

Purpose-built for dense compute

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack server equipped with four Intel Xeon Gold 6148 processors, each running at 2.4 GHz with 20 cores and a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 16 modules. The system targets organisations running mission-critical workloads that demand high core counts and large memory capacity in a compact form factor.

Verify rack space, power and network readiness

Confirm your rack can accommodate a 3U chassis and that the facility provides redundant power circuits for the two 1600 W platinum power supplies. The server uses LGA 3647 sockets and the Intel C620 chipset, so any processor upgrades must match that platform. Network connectivity relies on a quad-port daughter card delivering two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links; ensure your switching infrastructure supports those interfaces.

Integrates storage, management and expansion

The PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache manages the two installed 400 GB SATA SSDs and supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across up to eight 2.5-inch drive bays. iDRAC 9 Enterprise provides out-of-band remote management for deployment and monitoring. Forty-eight DIMM slots allow memory expansion up to 6 TB, while the four-socket design is already fully populated, leaving CPU upgrades as a socket-compatible replacement path only.
