DELL PowerEdge R940 3U Server

The DELL PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack server built for compute-intensive workloads. Four Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors provide 24 cores each at 2.1 GHz base frequency. The system includes 64 GB of DDR4 memory and eight 2.4 TB SAS hard drives on a PERC H730P controller. Dual 1600 W power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise complete the package.

Suits high-density database

This server fits organisations that need four-socket performance in a compact 3U form factor with redundant power and remote management. The eight-bay 2.5-inch chassis supports the installed SAS drives and the H730P RAID controller. Buyers who need solid-state storage or more than 64 GB of memory out of the box should look at a different configuration.

Four-socket Xeon Platinum 8160 configuration

The defining specification is the four installed Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors, each with 24 cores and a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. This CPU count and core density determine whether the platform matches the licensing and threading requirements of the target application.

Questions about this item

What rack space and power circuits do I need to install the 3U PowerEdge R940 with dual 1600 W PSUs?

The server occupies 3U of rack height and ships with two redundant 1600 W platinum-efficiency power supplies; each supply needs its own PDU circuit for full redundancy.

Will my existing SAS drives and PERC H730P RAID arrays work unchanged in this R940?

The integrated PERC H730P 2 GB controller supports SAS and SATA drives with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through, so current SAS arrays can be imported directly.

How do I confirm all four Xeon Platinum 8160 CPUs and 64 GB of DDR4 are detected after first boot?

Open the iDRAC9 Enterprise web interface or press F2 at POST; the System Inventory page will list four 24-core processors at 2.1 GHz and 64 GB of registered ECC DDR4 memory.
