DELL PowerEdge R940 rack server 4x Xeon Gold 6142 2.6GHz 16-core 256GB DDR4 8x 400GB SSD H730P

Four-socket Xeon Gold server

The Dell PowerEdge R940 is a 3U rack system built for mission-critical workloads that demand high core counts and large memory capacity. It ships with four Intel Xeon Gold 6142 processors, each running at 2.6 GHz with 16 cores and a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. This configuration suits organisations running virtualisation clusters, in-memory databases or real-time analytics platforms.

256 GB DDR4 registered ECC memory

The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory populated across eight 32 GB modules. With 48 total DIMM slots and a maximum capacity of 6 TB, the platform leaves ample room for future expansion. Buyers who need the full 6 TB from day one will need to populate the remaining 40 slots with compatible modules.

PERC H730P controller with eight 400 GB SSDs

Storage is handled by a Dell PERC H730P 2 GB controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Eight 400 GB SATA 2.5-inch SSDs are installed in the front eight-bay chassis, leaving no empty drive bays for additional 2.5-inch devices. The board also provides a quad-port network daughter card with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections, while dual 1600 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise complete the infrastructure-ready package.
