DELL PowerEdge R640 4LFF 2x Xeon Gold 6126 128GB RAM No Drive

Dell PowerEdge R640 4LFF dual Xeon server

This Dell PowerEdge R640 rack server ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6126 processors running at 2.6GHz and 128GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis provides four 3.5-inch drive bays and includes a PERC H740P RAID controller. No drives are installed, so storage capacity is chosen by the buyer. Integrated graphics and a 10GbE two-port 562T adapter handle display and network connectivity.

Suits virtualisation hosts needing dense CPU

The twelve cores per processor and large memory ceiling of 7.68TB make this platform a good fit for virtualised workloads, database instances or compute clusters that benefit from dual-socket density. Organisations requiring GPU acceleration should look elsewhere because the system only offers integrated graphics. Buyers who need drives pre-installed must add them separately as the unit ships without storage.

PERC H740P RAID controller governs storage options

The included Dell PERC H740P controller manages the SATA backplane and determines which RAID levels and drive types are supported. Storage configuration revolves around this controller, so verifying its capabilities against the intended drive mix is the key step before deployment.
