PowerEdge R640 4LFF Chassis
The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server with a four-bay 3.5-inch chassis. It ships with a single Intel Xeon Gold 6244 processor running at 3.6 GHz and 64 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. A PERC H740P RAID controller and a 10 GbE two-port 562T adapter are installed, while drive bays are empty for user-supplied SATA drives. Dual 750 W power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management complete the platform.
Suited For And Limits
This configuration suits buyers who need a compact two-socket platform with hardware RAID and 10 GbE connectivity for virtualization or database workloads. The single installed CPU leaves one socket free for future expansion up to the supported maximum. Buyers who require more than four 3.5-inch drive bays should look at a different chassis. The integrated graphics and lack of discrete GPU support make it unsuitable for graphics-intensive tasks.
Deciding Specification
The four-bay 3.5-inch LFF chassis defines the storage density of this server. With only four drive slots, total raw capacity is limited to the number of large-form-factor SATA drives installed. If the workload demands more than four drives or requires 2.5-inch bay density, this R640 model will not meet the requirement.

Questions about this item
What PCIe standard does the PERC H740P controller use, and what throughput does it cap at?
The PERC H740P RAID controller connects over PCIe and manages the installed SATA drives up to the controller's own performance ceiling.
What physical space and mounting hardware does the R640 4LFF chassis require?
The unit measures 36 by 24 by 10 inches and weighs 40 units; it mounts in a standard rack using compatible rail kits.
How is the PERC H740P RAID controller installed, and what step is often missed?
The controller is pre-installed in its dedicated slot; the step often missed is creating the virtual disks in the controller BIOS before installing an operating system.
