DELL PowerEdge R640 1U 2× Xeon Gold 6148 20C 2.4GHz 256GB DDR4 8×300GB SAS H730P

Dual-socket 1U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server system with two Intel Xeon Gold 6148 processors, each delivering 20 cores at 2.4 GHz with a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules. The platform includes a PERC H730P 2 GB storage controller and eight 300 GB 10K SAS 2.5-inch drives. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management are also integrated.

Suited for dense scale-out compute

This configuration fits workloads that demand high core counts and large memory capacity in a single rack unit, such as virtualization clusters, database nodes, or high-performance computing tasks. The quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections for flexible fabric attachment. Buyers who require solid-state storage, GPU acceleration, or 3.5-inch drive bays should consider other platforms because the chassis supports only 2.5-inch SAS/SATA devices and has no PCIe expansion described.

PERC H730P RAID controller with battery

The installed Dell PERC H730P 2 GB controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes, backed by a battery for cache protection. It manages the eight 300 GB 10K SAS drives at 12 Gb/s and can also address SATA media. This single component determines whether the storage topology and data-protection level meet the deployment requirements.
