Dell PowerEdge R640 4LFF rack server
This 1U rack server ships with a single Intel Xeon Platinum 8268 processor running at 2.9 GHz and 16 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It includes a PERC H740P RAID controller and a dual-port 10 GbE 562T network adapter for connectivity. The chassis provides four 3.5-inch drive bays ready for SATA hard drives.
Drive bays and memory ceiling
Four 3.5-inch bays limit internal storage to the number of SATA drives that physically fit, while the board supports up to 7.68 TB of DDR4 across all slots. The installed 16 GB uses a fraction of that capacity, leaving room for expansion if the workload demands it. A second processor socket is available but unpopulated in this configuration.
Single Platinum 8268 processor
The unit contains one 24-core Xeon Platinum 8268 CPU with 35.75 MB cache; maximum performance requires a second matching processor. Buyers needing dual-socket throughput or higher core counts out of the box should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item
Should I pick the 4LFF chassis or a different bay layout for this R640?
The 4LFF chassis fits four 3.5" drives, so choose it when you need high-capacity SATA storage in a 1U rack server.
What does the 2.9 GHz Xeon Platinum 8268 deliver in this server?
One 24-core processor at 2.9 GHz with 35.75 MB cache provides strong multi-threaded performance for virtualization and database workloads.
How does the PERC H740P controller limit the SATA drives I can use?
The H740P manages RAID across the four 3.5" bays using SATA, capping each drive at the SATA interface speed.
