Purpose-built 1U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a dual-socket 1U rack server designed for dense scale-out data center computing. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors running at 3.2 GHz with eight cores each and 64 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory. A PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache manages eight 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives, while an Intel X520/I350 daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports. Dual 750 W platinum hot-swap power supplies, iDRAC 9 Enterprise, rails and a front bezel complete the package.

Fit and alternatives

This configuration suits workloads that need high core density, redundant power and hardware RAID in a single rack unit. Virtualization hosts, database nodes and HPC clusters benefit from the 24 DIMM slots supporting up to 3 TB of memory and the eight 2.5-inch drive bays. Buyers who require more than two processors, additional drive bays beyond eight, or GPU compute capability should consider larger chassis platforms.

Deciding specification

The installed PERC H730P controller with 2 GB battery-backed cache enables RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode across all eight SAS bays. If the deployment demands hardware RAID with cache protection for the supplied 1.2 TB drives, this server meets the requirement; if software RAID or a different controller is preferred, the H730P becomes an unnecessary cost.

Highlights

  • Dual Xeon Gold 6134 CPUs deliver 16 cores at 3.2 GHz for dense compute
  • 64 GB DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory supports up to 3 TB capacity
  • PERC H730P 2 GB controller enables RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 with battery backup
  • Eight 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives provide high-speed storage in 2.5 inch bays

Questions about this item

What rack height and rail kit does this 1U server require?

This unit occupies 1U of rack space and ships with the Ready Rails kit included for mounting in a standard four-post rack.

What is the correct order for installing the two Xeon Gold 6134 processors and the 64GB DDR4 memory kits?

Install both processors into the LGA 3647 sockets first, then populate the 24 DDR4 slots starting with the four 16GB registered ECC modules supplied at 2666MHz.

When will the PERC H730P RAID controller battery and the eight 1.2TB SAS drives need replacement?

The H730P battery typically lasts three to five years; the 10K SAS drives should be monitored via iDRAC9 and replaced when SMART alerts indicate wear.
