Dense 1U Dual-Socket Server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server system 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. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 8 modules and uses the Intel C620 chipset. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and sliding rails are fitted as standard.

Virtualisation Hosts Not GPU Workloads

This configuration suits organisations running virtualisation clusters, database nodes or high-density compute farms that benefit from 24 cores and 128 GB RAM in a single rack unit. The eight 1.2 TB 10 K SAS drives and PERC H730P controller provide hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, more than two processors or storage interfaces other than SAS and SATA should evaluate other platforms.

24 DIMM Slots Define Maximum Memory

The motherboard provides 24 DDR4 DIMM slots with a validated maximum capacity of 3 TB. Eight slots are occupied by the supplied 16 GB modules, leaving 16 slots available for expansion. The PERC H730P controller includes a 2 GB cache battery and supports 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity. Network I/O is handled by an Intel X520/I350 daughter card delivering two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the 2x Xeon Gold 5118 2.3GHz 12-Core CPUs and 128GB DDR4 are detected after boot?

Enter the BIOS or iDRAC 9 Enterprise interface to confirm both 12-Core processors show 2.30 GHz base speed and all 8x 16GB DDR4 2400MHz modules appear as Registered ECC memory.

What ships with the server and which items must be sourced separately?

The box contains the 1U chassis, 2x Xeon Gold 5118 CPUs, 128GB DDR4, PERC H730P 2GB controller, 8x 1.2TB 10K SAS 2.5" drives, X520/I350 quad-port card, iDRAC 9 Enterprise, 2x 750W PSUs, rails and bezel. No extra parts are required for the listed configuration.

Which drive capacity matches the installed 8-bay SAS backplane?

The 8-bay 2.5" backplane is populated with 8x 1.2TB 10K SAS drives; choose the same 1.2TB 10K SAS 2.5" model to fill or replace any bay.
