Dual-Socket 1U Platform

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server built for dense scale-out data centre workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores each. The system includes 512 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 16 DIMM slots. A PERC H730P 2 GB controller manages eight 300 GB 10K SAS drives in the 2.5-inch bays.

Virtualisation Hosts And Database Nodes

This configuration suits teams consolidating virtual machines or running memory-intensive databases that benefit from 32 total cores and half a terabyte of RAM. Quad-port networking with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links handles east-west traffic. Buyers who need more than 3 TB of memory, GPU acceleration, or storage protocols beyond SAS and SATA should evaluate alternative platforms.

Memory Ceiling Decides Fit

The chipset supports a maximum of 3 TB across 24 DDR4 slots, so the installed 512 GB leaves ample headroom for future expansion. If your workload will exceed that 3 TB limit, this chassis cannot accommodate it.

Questions about this item

What rack-mount hardware is included for the 1U chassis?

Ready Rails and a front bezel are included with the 1U server.

Which storage controller manages the eight 300 GB SAS drives?

The Dell PERC H730P 2 GB controller handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through for the installed drives.

When will the PERC H730P RAID battery need replacement?

The controller battery typically requires replacement after several years of continuous operation to preserve write-cache protection.
