DELL PowerEdge R640 10Bay rack server

This 1U rackmount server delivers 48 total cores across two Intel Xeon Gold 6148 processors running at 2.40GHz. It ships with 512GB of DDR4 memory and supports up to 3TB maximum capacity. The chassis provides ten 2.5-inch drive bays for flexible storage configuration. An integrated H730P storage controller handles RAID management for the installed drives.

Suited for virtualisation.

The dual-socket design and large memory pool support multiple virtual machines and data-heavy applications simultaneously. Buyers who need GPU acceleration for compute or rendering tasks should look elsewhere because only integrated graphics are present. Organisations requiring more than two processors or drive bays beyond the ten 2.5-inch slots will need a different platform.

Ready for rack installation

Technicians set up the BIOS, configure the H730P controller and build arrays before shipment so the server can join the rack quickly. Drives are not included, so you must source and install compatible 2.5-inch units yourself. The 60kg weight means two people or a lift are required for safe mounting in a standard rack.

Questions about this item

Do I need to supply my own 2.5" drives for the 10 front bays?

Yes — the 10 front bays accept 2.5" drives and the listing states that storage drives are not included, so you must provide the capacity and type you require.

Will my existing DDR4 RDIMMs work alongside the installed 512 GB?

The system uses DDR4 memory up to a maximum of 3 TB; any additional modules must be DDR4 RDIMMs or LRDIMMs compatible with the Xeon Gold 6148 memory controller.

How can I verify the H730P controller is managing the new drives correctly?

During POST the H730P BIOS will display each detected drive and its RAID status; you can also open the iDRAC web interface or the PERC configuration utility to confirm array health and rebuild progress.
