Dell PowerEdge R640 4LFF dual Xeon server
This Dell PowerEdge R640 rack server ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 5218R processors running at 2.1 GHz and 128 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It is built for organisations that need a dense 1U platform for virtualisation, database or general compute workloads. The chassis supports up to four 3.5-inch drive bays and includes a PERC H740P RAID controller. Remote management is provided by iDRAC9 with an Enterprise licence.
Four 3.5-inch bays with SATA and PERC H740P RAID
Storage connects through the SATA interface and the installed PERC H740P controller, which manages RAID across the four available 3.5-inch bays. No drives are included, so capacity and redundancy must be planned before deployment. The 10 GbE 562T dual-port adapter supplies network connectivity. Maximum memory capacity reaches 7.68 TB when fully populated.
Two Xeon Gold 5218R CPUs fixed at 20 cores each
The server arrives with both processor sockets occupied by Gold 5218R chips, each delivering 20 cores and 27.5 MB cache. No further CPU upgrades are possible because the maximum processor count is two. Buyers who need higher core counts per socket or additional sockets must select a different platform.

Questions about this item
How do I choose between the 4LFF chassis and a smaller drive-bay option?
The 4LFF chassis accepts up to four 3.5-inch SATA drives, so pick this version when you need maximum 3.5-inch bay density in a 1U rack space.
What does the 2.1 GHz Xeon Gold 5218R speed mean once the server is running workloads?
Each of the two 20-core Gold 5218R CPUs runs at a 2.1 GHz base frequency, delivering 40 total cores for parallel tasks such as virtualisation or database threads.
How does the PERC H740P controller and SATA interface affect drive performance?
The PERC H740P RAID controller manages the SATA-connected drives, so array throughput is limited by the SATA link speed and the controller’s RAID processing overhead.
