Four-socket Xeon server for mission-critical

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. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory installed across 24 modules. The system targets organisations that need maximum core density and memory capacity in a compact rack footprint for databases, virtualisation or real-time analytics.

Sustained performance

Four 1600-watt platinum power supplies operate in redundant mode to maintain uptime during continuous heavy compute loads. The Intel C620 chipset and LGA 3647 sockets support all four processors at their 3.7 GHz turbo frequency without thermal throttling. Registered ECC memory and the PERC H730P controller with battery-backed cache protect data integrity during extended write-intensive operations.

Verify rack space, networking and storage needs

Confirm your rack can accommodate a 3U chassis and that the included sliding rails match your cabinet depth. The X520/I350 daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports, so plan cabling and switch compatibility accordingly. Eight 2.5-inch drive trays accept SAS or SATA drives, but no drives are installed; ensure you source compatible media for the H730P controller.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the R940 get with four Xeon Gold 6148 CPUs and dual 1600 W power supplies running continuously?

Four 20-core Xeon Gold 6148 processors at 2.4 GHz and redundant 1600 W platinum PSUs mean sustained heat and fan noise typical of a fully populated 3U rack server.

Which drives and cabling must I supply to use the eight 2.5-inch bays and the H730P controller?

The server ships with eight 2.5-inch SAS/SATA trays but no drives; you provide SAS or SATA drives and cables compatible with the PERC H730P 2GB controller.

Can the onboard X520/I350 network card and iDRAC9 Enterprise work with my existing 1 GbE switches and management network?

The X520/I350 daughter card provides two 1GbE and two 10Gb SFP+ ports, and iDRAC9 Enterprise uses a dedicated management port for remote access.
