Built for Virtualisation and Data Workloads
This Dell PowerEdge R640 8B rackmount server delivers dual Intel Xeon Silver 4114 processors running at 2.20GHz with 20 total cores. It ships with 512GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and eight 1.2TB 10k SAS drives managed by a PERC H740P controller. Integrated X540 10GbE and I350 1GbE networking supports high-throughput east-west traffic in cluster deployments.
Ideal for Density-Constrained Racks
The 2.5-inch eight-bay chassis fits dense compute clusters, software-defined storage nodes and backup targets where memory capacity and fast networking matter. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, single-thread frequency above 2.20GHz, or more than two processor sockets should consider alternative platforms.
The Deciding Specification — 512GB DDR4 ECC
With 512GB installed and a 3TB maximum, this configuration supports large virtual-machine densities and in-memory databases without immediate memory upgrades. If your workload requires more than 512GB at deployment, verify the cost and availability of additional DDR4 RDIMMs before purchase.

Questions about this item
Do I need a 10 GbE switch to use the X540 ports?
The X540 controller provides two 10 GbE ports; they will negotiate down to 1 GbE if the connected switch only supports that speed, but a 10 GbE switch is required to reach the full 10 GbE rate.
Will my existing 1 GbE network gear work with the I350 controller?
Yes, the I350 provides four 1 GbE ports that are fully compatible with standard 1 GbE switches and cabling you may already have in place.
How can I verify the H740P controller sees all eight 1.2 TB SAS drives after installation?
During POST the H740P BIOS will list each detected drive, and you can also open the controller configuration utility (Ctrl+R) to confirm all eight drives appear with the correct 1.2 TB capacity.
