Dense 1U Dual-Socket Compute

The PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server built for scale-out data center workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 24 cores and a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across eight modules. Eight 800 GB SATA SSDs are installed in the 2.5-inch drive bays.

Virtualisation Hosts Not GPU Farms

This configuration suits organisations consolidating virtual machines, running databases or deploying high-density compute clusters where rack space is at a premium. The dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise provide the redundancy and remote management expected in production racks. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, more than two processor sockets or storage interfaces beyond SAS and SATA should evaluate alternative platforms.

PERC H730P 2 GB RAID Controller

The Dell PERC H730P 2 GB controller drives the eight SSDs and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Its 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA interface and onboard battery-backed cache determine the achievable IOPS and data protection level for the installed drives. Verify that the controller’s RAID feature set matches the application’s resilience and performance requirements before purchase.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 2.5" SSDs into the 8-bay front chassis and which step is commonly missed?

Slide each drive into a front bay until the carrier clicks, then verify the PERC H730P detects all 8x 800GB SATA SSDs in the BIOS before creating RAID volumes.

What maintenance will the PERC H730P controller need over time?

The controller includes a battery-backed cache; replace the battery module when iDRAC9 reports a degraded or failed cache battery to preserve write performance.

What thermal or power limit appears first when both Xeon Platinum 8160 CPUs run at 3.7GHz turbo under sustained load?

Dual 750W platinum PSUs and 1U airflow cap combined CPU power; expect throttling once total package draw approaches the 750W redundant supply rating.
