Dense Scale-Out Platform

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a dual-socket 1U rack server designed for dense scale-out data centre computing. It combines performance and scalability in a compact form factor. Two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors provide 32 cores at 2.1 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo capability.

Compute And Memory Configuration

This system suits workloads that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a single rack unit. The 768 GB DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory fills all 24 slots, leaving no room for expansion. Buyers who need more than 3 TB maximum memory or additional processor sockets should look at a different platform.

Storage Controller And Drive Interface

The PERC H730P 2 GB controller manages eight 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes. The SAS interface determines which drives can be installed in the eight 2.5 inch bays.

Questions about this item

What drives and accessories come with the server, and what must be purchased separately?

The server includes eight 1.2TB 10K SAS 2.5" drives, a PERC H730P 2GB controller with battery, Intel X520/I350 quad-port network card, iDRAC9 Enterprise, two 750W Platinum power supplies, ready rails and a front bezel. Additional drives or memory would need separate purchase.

How do I choose between the installed 768GB memory and the maximum 3TB capacity?

The system ships with 24x 32GB DDR4 2666MHz registered ECC modules filling all 24 slots. To reach 3TB you would replace every module with larger-capacity DDR4 registered ECC DIMMs; no empty slots remain for simple expansion.

What does the 2.1GHz base and 3.7GHz turbo mean for actual workload performance?

Each of the two Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs has 16 cores at 2.1GHz base frequency and can boost to 3.7GHz under load, giving 32 total cores for parallel tasks such as virtualization, databases or high-performance computing.
