DELL PowerEdge R640 4LFF 2x Xeon Gold 5218 256GB DDR4 No Drive

Dell PowerEdge R640 4LFF dual Xeon Gold 5218 256GB

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon Gold 5218 processors running at 2.3GHz, delivering 16 cores per CPU and 22MB cache each. It ships with 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H740P RAID controller, supporting up to 7.68TB of total memory capacity. The 4LFF chassis accommodates four 3.5-inch SATA drive bays, though no drives are installed. Integrated graphics and a 10GbE dual-port 562T adapter handle display and network connectivity.

Check rack space power and drive requirements

Verify that your rack can accept a unit measuring 36 by 24 by 10 inches and weighing 40 units, with two 750W power supplies already installed. Confirm the SATA interface matches the storage media you plan to add, as the PERC H740P controller manages RAID across the four 3.5-inch bays. Ensure your environment supports the iDRAC9 Enterprise remote-management licence for out-of-band administration. The server supports a maximum of two processors, so no further CPU upgrades are possible beyond the installed pair.

PERC H740P iDRAC9 Enterprise

The bundled PERC H740P RAID controller provides hardware RAID levels for the SATA drives you install, while the iDRAC9 Enterprise licence enables comprehensive remote monitoring, firmware updates and virtual console access. Dual 750W power supplies deliver redundant power for continuous operation. The 10GbE 562T dual-port adapter adds high-speed network connectivity without occupying additional PCIe slots. A rail kit is available separately if required for your rack mounting setup.
