PowerEdge R640 10SFF single-socket server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack-mount server configured with one Intel Xeon Silver 4210 processor running at 2.2 GHz and 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It targets organisations that need dense compute in a compact chassis without committing to a dual-socket layout.

10-bay 2.5-inch chassis with PERC H740P

The 10SFF front panel accepts up to ten 2.5-inch SAS drives, while the installed PERC H740P RAID controller provides hardware RAID for those bays. Dual 750 W power supplies and an iDRAC9 Enterprise licence give redundant power and full out-of-band management for day-to-day administration.

Single-socket limit and DDR4 ceiling

With only one of two possible sockets populated, the system cannot exceed the 10-core, 13.75 MB cache configuration of the Silver 4210 unless a second matching processor is added. Memory capacity stops at 7.68 TB, and the integrated graphics plus 10 GbE 562T adapter define the I/O ceiling for this build.

Questions about this item

What SAS interface does the PERC H740P controller use and what throughput does it cap at?

The PERC H740P controller connects drives through a SAS interface; the installed 10 GbE 562T adapter caps network throughput at ten gigabits per second.

What rack dimensions and rail clearance does the R640 10SFF chassis require?

The chassis measures thirty-six by twenty-four by ten inches and weighs forty units; it fits a standard nineteen-inch rack and accepts an optional rail kit.

How is the PERC H740P RAID controller installed and what step is often missed?

The controller installs in a dedicated internal slot; the step often missed is importing the foreign configuration after the drives are seated so the array becomes visible.
