Silver 1U rack server with front bezel, eight 2.5-inch drive bays and redundant power supplies

DELL

DELL PowerEdge R640 1U rack server 2x Xeon Gold 5118 2.3GHz 12-core 512GB DDR4 8x 300GB SAS H730P

SKU CH-8NHP-3XB1R

A 1U rack server with two 12-core Xeon Gold 5118 CPUs at 2.3 GHz, 512 GB DDR4, eight 300 GB SAS drives on a PERC H730P controller, quad-port 1GbE and 10Gb SFP+ networking, iDRAC 9 Enterprise.

Dense scale-out server

This 1U rack platform ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors, each running at 2.3 GHz with 12 cores. Memory is populated to 512 GB using sixteen 32 GB DDR4 registered ECC modules. The PERC H730P controller manages eight 300 GB 10K SAS drives in a 2.5 inch form factor. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise complete the package.

Suited for dense compute clusters

The dual-socket design and 24 memory slots support scale-out workloads such as virtualization hosts, HPC nodes or database clusters that benefit from high core counts and large memory capacity. Buyers who need more than two processors or who require a taller chassis with additional drive bays should consider a different form factor.

Storage controller decides fit

The PERC H730P 2 GB card provides hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode on 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA links. If the deployment demands a different RAID feature set or a controller without a battery-backed cache, this server will not match the requirement.

Questions about this item

How many DDR4 memory slots remain free for future upgrades on the R640?

The system has 24 DDR4 slots total and 16 are populated with 32 GB modules, leaving 8 slots available for additional registered ECC memory.

What storage throughput ceiling will the PERC H730P controller hit first under sustained heavy I/O?

The PERC H730P is a 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller, so the 12 Gb/s link speed is the first ceiling reached during continuous high-throughput workloads.

How loud are the fans and how much heat do the dual 750 W PSUs produce when the R640 runs 24/7?

Dual 750 W platinum-efficiency power supplies and eight 10 K SAS drives generate significant heat; the 1U chassis relies on high-speed internal fans that become audible in quiet rooms during all-day operation.
