Configuration and purpose
This Dell PowerEdge R640 rack server arrives with two Xeon Bronze 3104 processors at 1.7GHz and 128GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The 4LFF chassis supports up to four 3.5-inch SATA drives managed by a PERC H740P RAID controller. Remote administration is handled through iDRAC9 with an Enterprise licence, and a dual-port 10GbE 562T adapter provides network connectivity. It is aimed at organisations that need a dense 1U platform for virtualisation, database or file-serving workloads.
Who it suits and who should look elsewhere
The dual-socket design and large memory ceiling of 7.68TB suit businesses running memory-hungry applications or multiple virtual machines. Buyers who need more than two processor sockets, integrated GPU compute or drive bays beyond the four 3.5-inch slots should evaluate other platforms. The server ships without storage drives, so teams that require pre-populated arrays must add them separately.
Deciding specification
The installed memory is 128GB of DDR4 ECC registered DIMMs, and the platform can scale to 7.68TB when fully populated. This single figure determines whether the system can hold the working set of your target workload without immediate upgrades.

Questions about this item
What power supplies are required to run the dual Xeon 3104 processors and PERC H740P controller?
The server ships with two 750 W power supplies that support the installed CPUs, 128 GB DDR4 memory, and RAID controller.
Can the 10 GbE 562T adapter and iDRAC9 share the same network switch as older 1 GbE gear?
Yes, the 10 GbE ports auto-negotiate down to 1 GbE, and iDRAC9 uses a dedicated management port that works on any standard switch.
How do I confirm the PERC H740P sees all four 3.5-inch drive bays after installing SATA drives?
Open the controller BIOS during boot or log into iDRAC9; both will list each bay with its drive model, capacity, and RAID state.
