DELL PowerEdge R640 1U Rack Server 2x Xeon Gold 6142 2.6GHz 16-Core 512GB DDR4 8x 2.4TB SAS H730P

Dense 1U Dual-Socket Platform

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server built for dense scale-out data centre computing. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6142 processors, each running at 2.6 GHz with 16 cores and a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 512 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 16 modules, leaving eight of 24 slots free for expansion. A PERC H730P 2 GB SAS controller with battery-backed cache manages the eight installed 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives in a 2.5-inch hot-swap backplane.

Suited For Virtualisation And Database Workloads

This configuration suits organisations running virtualised workloads, database clusters or high-performance computing tasks that benefit from 32 total cores and large memory capacity. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise remote management support continuous operation and lights-out administration. Buyers who need more than 24 DIMM slots, additional PCIe slots beyond the 1U constraint, or GPU-accelerated compute should evaluate alternative platforms.

512 GB DDR4 2666 MHz Registered ECC Memory

The installed 512 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory determines whether this server meets immediate capacity requirements. With 16 of 24 slots populated, the system can scale to 3 TB maximum capacity using additional DDR4 modules. The memory type and speed are fixed to DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC; any upgrade must match this specification exactly.
