DELL PowerEdge R640 1U Rack Server Dual Xeon 6130 2.10 GHz 256GB 15.36TB SSD

Compact dual-socket server for virtualisation

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server designed for small-business or enterprise environments that need dense compute. It ships with two Xeon Gold 6130 processors, each offering 16 cores at 2.10 GHz with a 3.70 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 memory across eight 32 GB modules running at 3200 MHz. Storage consists of four 3.84 TB enterprise SATA SSDs totalling 15.36 TB, managed by a PERC H730 RAID controller with 2 GB NV cache.

Sustained operation with redundant power

Dual hot-swappable power supplies keep the server running during a module failure, so critical applications stay online without a shutdown. The PERC H730 controller maintains RAID performance under continuous I/O, using its non-volatile cache to absorb write bursts. Broadcom BCM5720 quad-port 1 GbE networking provides multiple paths for steady traffic. iDRAC9 Express gives remote firmware-level monitoring and control even when the operating system is unresponsive.

Verify rack depth, rail clearance

The unit arrives with memory and drives packaged separately and requires installation into the chassis before deployment. Confirm that your rack can accommodate a 1U form factor with the included rail kit and that sufficient rear clearance exists for cable routing and airflow. Ensure the facility can supply redundant power feeds to both PSU modules for full high-availability operation.
