PowerEdge R640 4LFF dual Xeon server
The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server fitted with two Xeon Platinum 8268 processors running at 2.9 GHz and 384 GB of DDR4 memory. It targets organisations that need dense compute for virtualisation, databases or high-performance workloads in a compact form factor. The chassis provides four 3.5-inch drive bays and includes a PERC H740P RAID controller.
Installation and common issues
The unit ships with BIOS and firmware already updated and has passed full diagnostics and burn-in testing. Mounting rails are available on request and must be ordered separately if your rack requires them. The integrated iDRAC9 Enterprise licence enables remote management before the operating system loads. Missing rails or an unconfigured RAID array are the typical delays during first deployment.
Pre-order checklist
Verify that your rack can accept a 36 x 24 x 10 inch 1U chassis and that the power infrastructure can support two 750 W supplies. Confirm the network environment can use the installed 10 GbE 2-port 562T adapter. Ensure you have a plan to populate the four SATA drive bays with compatible 3.5-inch drives, as none are included. Check that your operating system supports the PERC H740P controller and Xeon Platinum 8268 CPUs.

Questions about this item
How do I verify the 2x Xeon Platinum 8268 processors and 384GB DDR4 are recognised after first boot?
Open the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface or enter the BIOS; both will show two 2.9 GHz 24-core CPUs, 384GB DDR4 ECC Registered memory, and the PERC H740P controller with current firmware versions.
What components arrive installed and which must I source separately?
The chassis ships with 2x Xeon Platinum 8268 CPUs, 384GB DDR4 ECC Registered RAM, PERC H740P RAID controller, 2x 750W power supplies, 10GbE 2-port 562T adapter, and iDRAC9 Enterprise; 3.5" SATA drives and rail kit are not included.
Which drive-bay version suits a 4x 3.5" SATA array?
This 4LFF chassis provides exactly four 3.5-inch bays wired to the PERC H740P via SATA, so choose this model when you need up to four large-form-factor drives.
