Dual-socket 1U platform

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a dual-socket rack server built for dense scale-out data centre computing. Two Intel Xeon Silver 4110 processors each deliver eight cores at 2.1 GHz with a 3.0 GHz turbo frequency. The 1U chassis fits standard racks and includes redundant hot-swap power supplies, ready rails and a front bezel.

768 GB DDR4 with 3 TB headroom

The system ships with 768 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory populated across all 24 DIMM slots using 32 GB modules. The Intel C620 chipset supports a maximum capacity of 3 TB, so further expansion requires replacing existing modules rather than adding to free slots.

PERC H730P SAS/SATA storage controller

Storage is managed by a Dell PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache and battery backup, supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. The eight 2.5-inch drive bays connect via 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA interfaces; the two installed 300 GB 10K SAS drives occupy two bays, leaving six available for additional SAS or SATA devices.

Questions about this item

Will the two Xeon Silver 4110 2.1GHz CPUs work with my existing DDR4 2400MHz ECC DIMMs?

Yes, the server runs 768GB of DDR4 2400MHz registered ECC across 24 slots, so matching DIMMs will operate at the same speed and voltage.

How can I verify the PERC H730P controller is healthy after installation?

During POST the controller reports its 2GB cache and battery status; iDRAC9 Enterprise then shows firmware version, RAID virtual disks and drive health in the Storage tab.

Which items ship with the R640 and what must I source separately?

Included are 2× 300GB 10K SAS drives, X520/I350 quad-port NIC, iDRAC9 Enterprise, 2× 750W PSUs, bezel and rails; additional drives, SFP+ modules and OS licences are not supplied.
