DELL PowerEdge R640 1U 8-Bay 2x Xeon Gold 6130 2.1GHz 16-Core 512GB DDR4 H730P

Dense 1U dual-socket server for scale-out workloads

The PowerEdge R640 fits two Xeon Gold 6130 processors and 512GB of DDR4 into a single rack unit, delivering 32 physical cores at 2.1GHz with 3.7GHz turbo headroom. It targets data-centre teams that need high compute density without expanding rack footprint, and it supports up to 3TB of memory across 24 DIMM slots for future growth.

Sustained compute with hardware RAID and 10GbE

Dual 16-core CPUs maintain clock speeds under continuous load thanks to redundant 750W platinum power supplies, while the PERC H730P controller with 2GB cache drives RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across eight 2.5-inch SAS bays. The Intel X520/I350 daughter card adds two 10Gb SFP+ and two 1GbE ports for high-throughput east-west traffic, and iDRAC9 Enterprise provides out-of-band management during long-running jobs.

Front-to-rear airflow cooled by redundant platinum

Hot-swap 750W power supplies share the load efficiently, keeping inlet temperatures stable in standard cold-aisle layouts. System fans ramp only as needed for the installed CPUs, memory and two 300GB 10K SAS drives, so acoustic output remains predictable in dense rows. iDRAC9 Enterprise monitors thermal sensors and power draw remotely, allowing operators to track sustained utilisation without physical access.
