DELL PowerEdge R940 3U rack server 4x Xeon Platinum 8160 2.1GHz 24-core 128GB DDR4 8x 600GB SAS H730P

Mission-critical 4-socket server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack server built around four Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 24 cores. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory and eight 600 GB 10K SAS drives managed by a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache. Dual 1600 W redundant power supplies, iDRAC9 Enterprise and ready rails complete the package for immediate deployment.

Suited for dense virtualization

This configuration targets organisations that need maximum core density and memory capacity in a 3U footprint. The four-socket design supports up to 48 DIMM slots and 6 TB of DDR4, making it appropriate for large virtual machine clusters or in-memory databases. Buyers who require only one or two processors, or who prefer solid-state storage over 10K SAS drives, should consider different form factors.

Four Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 CPUs installed

The system arrives fully populated with four 24-core processors, reaching the R940's maximum socket count. This fixed CPU complement determines the licensing baseline for per-socket software and the peak thread count available for parallel workloads. Verify that your application licensing and thermal budget align with this four-socket configuration before purchase.
