Server identity

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server configured with two Intel Xeon Gold 6148 processors. Each CPU runs at 2.40 GHz and provides 18 cores, giving a total of 40 cores across the system. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 memory and a PERC H730P storage controller.

Fit and limits

This server suits organisations that need dense compute for virtualization, databases or application hosting in a standard rack. Buyers who want internal storage included should look elsewhere because the ten 2.5-inch drive bays are empty. The unit weighs 60 and supports a maximum of two processors, so it cannot scale beyond the installed pair.

Sustained behaviour

Dual 18-core Xeons and 128 GB of DDR4 allow the R640 to maintain throughput for long-running virtual-machine clusters or database workloads. The H730P controller manages RAID arrays without a performance drop during extended write sequences. Integrated graphics handle console output without adding heat to the thermal envelope.

Questions about this item

What 2.5-inch drives do I need to populate the 10 front bays?

The server provides ten 2.5-inch drive trays; you supply the drives that match your capacity and workload requirements.

Will my existing DDR4 RDIMMs work with the two Xeon Gold 6148 processors?

The system runs DDR4 memory and the two installed CPUs support the 128GB configuration already populated.

How can I confirm the H730P controller sees all drives after installation?

During POST the H730P BIOS lists each detected drive, and the iDRAC interface shows the full array status once the OS loads.
