These capabilities make the R930 suitable for continuous enterprise workloads.
Redundant Hot-Plug Power
The R930 supports redundant hot-plug power supplies.
A redundant PSU configuration helps improve availability by allowing the system to remain operational in the event of a power supply failure.
Actual power requirements depend on the selected:
- Processors
- Memory modules
- Storage drives
- PCIe cards
- Network adapters
High-Capacity 4U Chassis
The R930 uses a 4U rack form factor, providing sufficient physical space for its four-socket architecture and extensive memory configuration.
The larger chassis supports:
