1U rack server for virtualization and databases

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server built for business workloads such as virtualization, databases, backups and application hosting. Two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors deliver 48 cores at 2.10 GHz for dependable multi-threaded performance. A total of 256 GB DDR4 memory is installed with support for up to 3 TB.

Suits virtualization clusters; not for GPU workloads

This server suits teams running dense virtual-machine clusters, file storage or database instances that benefit from high core counts and large memory capacity. The integrated graphics and lack of discrete GPU support mean buyers who need GPU acceleration should evaluate other platforms. Workloads requiring more than two processor sockets are also outside the design.

8-bay 2.5-inch SAS storage with H730P controller

Eight 2.5-inch bays are populated with 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives connected through a 12 Gb/s H730P RAID controller. This configuration provides high-throughput storage for operating systems, applications, virtual machines and backups. Buyers needing a different drive count, interface or capacity should consider alternative chassis options.

Questions about this item

What is the maximum throughput of the 12Gb/s SAS interface on the H730P controller?

The 12Gb/s SAS interface on the H730P controller caps drive throughput at 12Gb/s per lane.

What are the physical dimensions of the drive bays and chassis height for the 8B SFF configuration?

The 8B SFF configuration provides eight 2.5-inch drive bays in a 1U rackmount chassis.

How is the H730P controller installed and what is the common cabling error?

The H730P installs in a dedicated internal slot; the step often missed is connecting the SAS cables from the backplane to the correct controller ports.
