Dell PowerEdge R640 2x Xeon Gold 6146

This new 1U rack server ships with dual Intel Xeon Gold 6146 processors at 3.20 GHz and 12 cores each. It includes 96 GB of DDR4 memory and a PERC H740P RAID controller with a front bezel. The system is ready for virtualization, databases, and application hosting.

Suited for dense virtualization and database nodes

Buyers who need GPU acceleration for AI or rendering workloads should look elsewhere because the server only provides integrated graphics. Teams requiring more than ten 2.5-inch drive bays or a different memory capacity will also need another platform.

10 x 2.5-inch drive bays with H740P controller

The chassis holds exactly ten 2.5-inch bays populated with four 1.92 TB drives and two 960 GB SSDs behind the hardware RAID card. This storage layout determines whether the server fits your capacity and redundancy requirements.

Questions about this item

What does the 3.20GHz clock speed mean for actual workloads?

The 3.20GHz base frequency on each of the 12 cores per Xeon Gold 6146 processor gives consistent single-thread performance for database queries, virtualization overhead, and application hosting.

Which interface does the H740P controller use and what does that limit?

The H740P connects through the internal PCIe lanes of the Xeon Gold 6146 CPUs, so drive throughput is capped by the generation and lane count of those processor links.

What physical space does the 10-bay 2.5-inch chassis need in a rack?

The server occupies a standard 1U rackmount slot and requires a four-post rack with sufficient depth for the chassis and cable clearance at the rear.
