DELL PowerEdge R640 1U Rack Server 2x Xeon Silver 4116 2.1GHz 12-Core 128GB DDR4 8x 800GB SSD H730P

Dense 1U dual-socket platform

The PowerEdge R640 fits a dual-socket Xeon configuration into a single rack unit, delivering 24 cores at 2.1 GHz with 128 GB of DDR4 ECC memory. It targets organisations that need high compute density without expanding rack footprint.

Storage and networking integrated

Eight 2.5-inch drive bays are populated with 800 GB SATA SSDs behind a PERC H730P controller that supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. A quad-port daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links, while iDRAC 9 Enterprise provides out-of-band management. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and sliding rails are included.

Sustained throughput under load

The 12-core Silver 4116 processors can boost to 3.0 GHz when thermal headroom allows, but prolonged heavy workloads will settle at the base frequency within the 1U cooling envelope. ECC memory and battery-backed RAID cache protect data integrity during continuous operation. Buyers who need more than 3 TB of RAM or additional PCIe slots should consider a larger chassis.
