Dense 1U Dual-Socket Platform

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server built for scale-out data centre workloads. 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 registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules. Eight 600 GB 10K SAS drives and a PERC H730P controller provide high-performance internal storage.

Tool-Less Rails and Hot-Swap Components

Ready Rails and a front bezel are included for quick mounting in standard racks. Both 750 W platinum power supplies are hot-swappable, as are the eight 2.5-inch drive bays and system fans. The PERC H730P battery-backed cache requires a brief initial charge before write-back caching activates. Memory population follows strict rank-per-channel rules; incorrect DIMM placement will halt POST.

24 DDR4 Slots Define Maximum Capacity

The platform supports up to 3 TB of DDR4 across 24 slots, so the installed 256 GB leaves substantial headroom for future expansion. Only DDR4 registered ECC modules are compatible; other generations will not fit or function. The LGA 3647 sockets are fully populated, preventing any further CPU upgrades. Buyers needing more than two processors or non-ECC memory must choose a different architecture.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the PERC H730P controller and all eight 600GB SAS drives are recognised after installation?

During POST the controller BIOS lists each 600GB 10K SAS drive and the 2GB cache; iDRAC9 Enterprise then shows all drives, both CPUs, and the full 256GB DDR4 memory in its hardware inventory.

Which components are included and which must be sourced separately?

The chassis includes 2x Xeon Gold 5118 12-core CPUs, 8x 32GB DDR4 RDIMMs, 8x 600GB SAS drives, H730P controller, X520/I350 quad-port NIC, iDRAC9 Enterprise, 2x 750W PSUs, bezel and rails; OS licences and additional drives or memory are not included.

Should I choose a different drive count or memory configuration for this R640?

This listing is fixed at 8x 600GB SAS drives and 256GB DDR4 across 8 slots; the 8-bay 2.5" chassis and 24 total DIMM slots allow expansion later, but no alternative factory configurations are offered in this SKU.
