DELL PowerEdge R640 4LFF 2x Xeon Platinum 8260L 128GB DDR4 rack server

Dell PowerEdge R640 4LFF dual Xeon server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8260L processors running at 2.4 GHz, each providing 24 cores. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H740P RAID controller, supporting up to four 3.5-inch SATA drive bays. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 with an Enterprise licence.

Suited for dense compute and virtualisation

This configuration suits workloads that benefit from high core counts and large memory capacity, such as virtualisation hosts, database nodes or high-performance computing clusters. The dual-socket design and 7.68 TB maximum memory ceiling provide headroom for growth. Buyers who need more than four drive bays, discrete GPU acceleration or a different drive interface should evaluate alternative platforms.

Four 3.5-inch SATA bays with PERC H740P

The chassis provides exactly four 3.5-inch drive bays connected to the PERC H740P RAID controller via SATA. No drives are installed, so the buyer must supply compatible SATA disks or SSDs. This bay count and controller combination determines whether the storage layout matches the intended RAID level and capacity requirements.
