Dense 1U Dual-Socket Server

The PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server built around two Intel Xeon Gold 6142 processors running at 2.6 GHz with 16 cores each. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and eight 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives managed by a PERC H730P controller. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise provide redundancy and remote management in a compact chassis.

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. The quad-port network daughter card delivers two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections for flexible fabric integration. Buyers who require more than two processors, GPU acceleration or storage interfaces beyond SAS and SATA should evaluate alternative platforms because this chassis does not accommodate those requirements.

PERC H730P RAID Controller With 2 GB Cache

The installed PERC H730P controller supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode with a 2 GB battery-backed cache. This specification determines the achievable storage performance, redundancy options and rebuild behaviour for the eight drive bays. Verify that the RAID feature set matches your application requirements before deployment.

Questions about this item

What rack space and rails are needed to mount this 1U server?

The R640 occupies 1U of rack height and ships with Ready Rails for standard square-hole or threaded cabinets.

Can the installed 1.2TB 10K SAS drives run with older 6Gb/s SAS backplanes?

Yes, the 12Gb/s drives are backward compatible and will operate at 6Gb/s on legacy backplanes.

How do I verify the PERC H730P sees all eight drives and the battery is healthy after first boot?

Enter the controller BIOS or iDRAC9 Enterprise storage view; all eight 1.2TB drives should appear and the battery status must show optimal.
