DELL PowerEdge R640 1U 2x Xeon Gold 6134 3.2GHz 512GB DDR4 8x 600GB SAS H730P

Dense 1U dual-socket server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server built around two Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors running at 3.2 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 16 slots and a PERC H730P 2 GB controller managing eight 600 GB 10K SAS drives. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies, iDRAC 9 Enterprise and a quad-port 1 GbE and 10 Gb SFP+ daughter card complete the package.

Suits dense virtualisation and database clusters

This configuration targets workloads that need high core counts, large memory capacity and fast local SAS storage in a single rack unit. It is not suited for buyers who require more than 24 memory slots, more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays or more than two processor sockets. Organisations needing GPU compute, additional PCIe expansion or different network connectivity should evaluate other platforms.

512 GB DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory

The installed 512 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 16 DIMM slots is the decisive specification for memory-intensive applications. The system supports a maximum of 3 TB across 24 slots, so buyers planning larger in-memory datasets must verify that the remaining eight slots and compatible modules meet their capacity roadmap.
