Dual-Socket 1U Rack Platform

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server built for dense scale-out data center computing. 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 750 W platinum redundant power supplies, ready rails, and a front bezel complete the package.

Storage and Network Density Fit

This configuration suits buyers who need eight 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives behind a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache and battery-backed write cache. The X520/I350 daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports for mixed network tiers. iDRAC 9 Enterprise provides full remote management. Builders who require more than eight drive bays or a different drive interface should look at other chassis.

PERC H730P RAID Controller

The installed PERC H730P 2 GB controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes at 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA speeds. This single component determines the usable capacity, redundancy options, and performance ceiling of the eight 2.4 TB drives. Verify that the RAID levels and cache protection meet the workload before deployment.

Questions about this item

What rail kit is included for mounting the 1U rack server?

Ready Rails are supplied with the server for installation in a standard 1U rack space.

How are the eight 2.5" SAS drives installed and what step is often missed?

Drives slide into the front hot-swap bays; the PERC H730P RAID array must be configured in the controller BIOS before the operating system sees the volumes.

Which memory specification must be matched when expanding beyond the installed 256GB?

Additional modules must be DDR4 2400MHz Registered ECC to match the 8x 32GB configuration already populated across the 24 slots.
