Rack server for virtualisation and databases

The DELL PowerEdge R640 is a 10-bay 2.5-inch rack server built for business workloads such as file storage, virtualisation, databases, backups and application hosting. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6146 processors, 128GB DDR4 memory and two 1.92TB SATA SSDs in a rack-ready configuration with front bezel.

Dual CPU and H740P controller in a 1U chassis

Two Xeon Gold 6146 CPUs provide 24 total cores at 3.20 GHz on LGA 3647 sockets, while the H740P RAID controller manages the installed SSDs and any additional drives you add to the remaining eight bays. The 128GB DDR4 capacity supports multiple virtual machines and data-heavy services without requiring immediate memory expansion.

Sustained throughput for multi-tenant workloads

The dual-processor design and DDR4 memory subsystem maintain consistent performance across extended virtualisation and database sessions rather than short bursts. SATA SSDs deliver steady read and write latency for mixed workloads, and the H740P controller sustains RAID operations under continuous I/O pressure from multiple tenants.

Questions about this item

How many 2.5-inch drive bays does the R640 chassis provide?

The 10-bay front panel accepts up to ten 2.5-inch drives, and this unit ships with two 1.92TB SATA SSDs installed.

What thermal load should I plan for with dual Xeon Gold 6146 CPUs running continuously?

Two 12-core Xeon Gold 6146 processors at 3.20 GHz will draw significant power under sustained load, so ensure your rack has adequate cooling capacity.

Does the H740P RAID controller require a specific cache module or battery that I must source separately?

The H740P is included in the configuration, but any additional cache or backup module would need to be obtained separately if not already fitted.
