1U Rack Server with Dual Xeon Gold 6132

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server system equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 6132 processors. Each CPU delivers 14 cores at 2.60GHz for a total of 28 cores. The system includes 512GB of DDR4 memory and an H730P storage controller managing ten 600GB 10K SAS drives in 2.5-inch bays. It ships without an operating system.

Virtualization and Database Workloads

This configuration suits organisations running virtualisation clusters, database instances, or mixed business applications that benefit from high core counts and large memory capacity. The ten drive bays provide local storage for VM images and active datasets. Buyers who require GPU compute acceleration should evaluate other platforms. Environments needing more than two sockets or memory beyond 3TB will need a different chassis.

Ten-Bay 2.5-Inch SAS Storage

The chassis provides ten 2.5-inch drive bays populated with 600GB 10K SAS hard drives connected to the H730P RAID controller. This layout determines the maximum local capacity and I/O profile available without external enclosures. The integrated GPU handles basic display output only.

Questions about this item

What rack width and drive bay size does the R640 10B chassis require?

The R640 10B is a rackmount server with 10 expansion bays for 2.5 inch drives. It mounts in a standard 4-post rack using the included sliding rails.

Which steps are required to install the H730P controller and 10 SAS drives?

The H730P controller installs in the dedicated internal slot. Each 600 GB SAS drive slides into a 2.5 inch bay until the latch clicks; the controller then builds the virtual disks before the OS loads.

When should the 600 GB SAS drives or DDR4 memory be replaced?

Replace a 600 GB SAS drive if the H730P reports a predictive failure or the drive goes offline. DDR4 modules only need replacement if the system logs uncorrectable memory errors during POST.
