DELL PowerEdge R640 1U Rack Server 2x Xeon Gold 5118 2.3GHz 12-Core 256GB DDR4 H730P 8-Bay 2.5

Dual-Socket 1U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server built for dense data-centre deployments. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors, each running at 2.3 GHz with 12 cores and a 3.2 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules. Dual redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management come standard.

Suits Scale-Out Compute.

This configuration targets workloads that benefit from dual-socket performance in a single rack unit, such as virtualization clusters, cloud front-ends or HPC nodes. The PERC H730P controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with a 2 GB cache and battery backup. Buyers who need more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays or a different storage controller should evaluate alternative chassis options.

Eight 2.5-Inch SAS/SATA Bays Define Storage Limits

The server provides exactly eight hot-swap 2.5-inch trays that accept SAS or SATA drives; no drives are installed. With the H730P limited to those eight ports, total raw capacity and I/O throughput are bound by the drive selection and bay count. Confirm that eight bays satisfy the intended dataset size and redundancy scheme before purchasing.
