DELL PowerEdge R640 1U 8-Bay 2x Xeon Gold 6130 16C 768GB DDR4 H730P 2x300GB SAS

Dense 1U Dual-Socket Server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server built for dense scale-out data centre computing. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores. The system includes 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots. A PERC H730P controller, dual 10 Gb SFP+ networking, and redundant 750 W power supplies complete the configuration.

Suited For High-Core Virtualisation

This server suits environments that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a single rack unit. Virtualisation hosts, database clusters, and compute-heavy workloads benefit from the 32 total cores and 768 GB RAM. Buyers who need more than two processors, require storage interfaces beyond SAS or SATA, or operate with single-socket licensing constraints should evaluate alternative platforms.

24 DIMM Slots Define Memory Ceiling

The 24 memory slots set the practical upgrade limit for this chassis. With 768 GB installed as 24 × 32 GB modules, every slot is populated at DDR4 2666 MHz. Further expansion requires replacing existing DIMMs rather than adding to empty slots. The maximum supported capacity is 3 TB when higher-density modules are used.
