Here the Dell PowerEdge R940 3U rack server comes with four Intel Xeon Gold 6226 chips (2.70GHz, 12 cores each) alongside 128GB of DDR4 memory. Storage comes as two 2.4TB 10K SAS hard drives, 4.8TB raw in two bays of the 8-bay 2.5-inch chassis, so six remain open for expansion. A BOSS card with two 240GB M.2 SATA SSDs is fitted for the operating system, keeping the front bays for data.
Supporting hardware includes PERC H740P hardware RAID (8GB cache), 2 × 10GbE SFP+ networking (Intel X520) and dual 2000W power supplies. Also included: an iDRAC9 Enterprise licence for out-of-band management and a rack rail kit.
Typical jobs for this build include hosting a few virtual machines, running an ERP or accounting database, or serving internal applications. The two drives pair naturally as a RAID 1 mirror.
Against an all-flash R940 build, this configuration favours capacity over latency. It is one of the lighter-memory R940 builds; a configuration with more memory is the step up for memory-bound workloads.
Sold as certified refurbished, the server passes inspection and a bench test, and has its storage wiped, in Johannesburg before release.
