DELL PowerEdge R640 10SFF 2x Xeon Silver 4210 512GB DDR4 No Drive

10-bay 2.5-inch rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack-mount server that accepts up to ten 2.5-inch SATA drives. Two Intel Xeon Silver 4210 processors running at 2.2 GHz provide twenty cores in total. The system ships with 512 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H740P RAID controller. No drives are installed, so storage must be added separately.

Virtualisation hosts needing dense compute

This configuration suits organisations that want high core counts and large memory capacity in a single rack unit for virtualisation, database or container workloads. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or more than two processor sockets should consider a different platform. The integrated graphics and single 10 GbE dual-port adapter limit use cases that demand discrete accelerators or additional network bandwidth.

Dual Xeon Silver 4210 with 512 GB DDR4

The pair of Xeon Silver 4210 CPUs and the half-terabyte of DDR4 memory define the performance ceiling for compute-heavy tasks. Maximum supported memory reaches 7.68 TB across the available slots. The PERC H740P controller manages the ten drive bays using SATA connectivity. Remote administration is handled by iDRAC9 with an Enterprise licence.
