Dense 1U Dual-Socket Server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server built for dense scale-out data centre computing. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4116 12-core processors running at 2.1 GHz, 128 GB of DDR4 ECC memory across eight 16 GB modules, and a PERC H730P RAID controller with 2 GB cache. Eight 2.4 TB 10K SAS hard drives fill the front bays, while a quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 GbE SFP+ connections. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies, iDRAC9 Enterprise, rails and a bezel complete the package.

Suited For Virtualisation And Database Workloads

This configuration suits organisations running virtualised workloads, databases or high-performance applications that benefit from dual-socket compute and hardware RAID in a 1U footprint. The installed SAS drives deliver consistent 10K spindle speed for mixed read-write patterns. Buyers who need solid-state storage or more than two processor sockets should look at alternative platforms. The 24 DIMM slots and 3 TB maximum memory capacity allow substantial future expansion within the same chassis.

Storage Controller Determines Drive Compatibility

The PERC H730P controller governs which drives can be used and which RAID levels are available, supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. It connects to the eight 2.5-inch SAS bays through a 12 Gb/s backplane and includes a battery-backed cache for data protection. Verify that any additional drives you plan to install are qualified for this controller and backplane before purchasing.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the H730P controller and all eight 2.4TB SAS drives are healthy after installation?

Open the iDRAC9 Enterprise web interface, navigate to Storage, and confirm the H730P shows optimal status with all eight 2.4TB SAS drives reported as ready and the battery charged.

Which components are included and which must be sourced separately?

The unit ships with 2x Xeon Silver 4116 2.1GHz 12-core processors, 128GB DDR4 2400MHz registered ECC (8x 16GB), H730P 2GB controller, 8x 2.4TB 10K SAS 2.5" drives, X520/I350 quad-port 2x 1GbE 2x 10Gb SFP+ card, iDRAC9 Enterprise, 2x 750W Platinum PSUs, Ready Rails and front bezel; nothing else is included.

Should I choose the 128GB DDR4 configuration or plan to populate the remaining slots up to 3TB?

The system arrives with 128GB across eight 16GB DDR4 2400MHz registered ECC modules; 16 of 24 slots remain free for expansion toward the 3TB maximum using identical registered ECC DDR4.
