Dell PowerEdge R640 4LFF Server
The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack-mounted server system designed for data-centre workloads. It arrives with a single Intel Xeon Silver 4214R processor running at 2.4 GHz and 64 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis supports up to four 3.5-inch drive bays and includes a PERC H740P RAID controller.
Virtualisation hosts and database nodes
This configuration suits teams running virtualisation clusters, database instances or file services that benefit from 12 cores and large memory capacity. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, a second processor installed or a tower form factor should look elsewhere. The single CPU limits heavily threaded throughput.
4x 3.5-inch SATA drive bays
The single specification that decides fit is the four 3.5-inch SATA hot-plug bays backed by the PERC H740P controller. Storage must be supplied separately and connected through this interface. Maximum memory capacity reaches 7.68 TB when all DIMM slots are populated. Remote management is provided by iDRAC9 Enterprise.

Questions about this item
How loud and hot does the R640 get when the Xeon Silver 4214R runs at 2.4 GHz all day with two 750 W power supplies?
The server uses dual 750 W supplies and a 12-core 2.4 GHz Xeon Silver 4214R; fan speed and heat output scale with workload, and the 4 LFF chassis provides airflow for sustained operation.
Which drives and caddies must I already own to populate the four 3.5-inch bays on this R640?
The chassis accepts four 3.5-inch SATA drives; you need compatible drives and Dell 3.5-inch drive carriers, as no drives are included.
Will my existing PERC H740P RAID configuration import cleanly into this R640's controller?
The installed PERC H740P controller supports the same RAID levels and metadata format as earlier H740P cards, so foreign-config import works for arrays created on compatible Dell controllers.
