Ready-to-Deploy Rack Server
The Dell PowerEdge R640 arrives as a 1U rackmount system with a single Intel Xeon 5118 processor running at 2.3GHz across 12 cores. It ships with 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory installed across sixteen 16GB modules. The chassis supports up to four 3.5-inch drive bays and includes a PERC H740P RAID controller. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 with an Enterprise license.
Verify Rack Space and Power
Confirm that your rack can accommodate a unit measuring 36 by 24 by 10 inches and weighing 40 pounds. Two 750W power supplies are installed, so ensure your PDU has matching connectors and sufficient capacity. The onboard network adapter provides two 10GbE ports via a 562T adapter; check that your switch ports and cabling support this speed. Drive bays accept SATA drives only; no drives are included.
Built for Continuous Operation
The 1U form factor uses a 4LFF chassis design with tool-less drive carriers for quick swap-outs. Dual redundant power supplies and the PERC H740P controller support hardware RAID for data protection. iDRAC9 Enterprise enables full out-of-band management, including virtual console and power cycling, without needing physical access. Integrated graphics handle basic display output for local troubleshooting.

Questions about this item
What is included in the box and what do I need to buy separately?
The server ships with one Xeon 5118 2.3 GHz 12-core processor, 256 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory in sixteen 16 GB modules, a PERC H740P RAID controller, a dual-port 10 GbE 562T adapter, two 750 W power supplies, and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management. No 3.5" drives or rail kit are included; both must be purchased separately.
Which drive capacity or version should I choose for the four 3.5" bays?
The chassis accepts up to four 3.5" SATA drives. Select capacities that match your storage target and RAID level — for example, four 10 TB drives in RAID 10 yield 20 TB usable, while RAID 5 on the same drives gives 30 TB usable. The PERC H740P supports both configurations.
What does the 256 GB DDR4 figure mean once the server is running workloads?
The installed 256 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory runs at 2.3 GHz processor speed across twelve cores, providing a large buffer for virtualisation, databases, or in-memory analytics. The platform can scale to 7.68 TB total using additional DDR4 modules.
