DELL PowerEdge R640 1U rack server 2× Xeon Gold 6130 2.1GHz 16-core 512GB DDR4 H730P 2× 800GB SSD

Dual-socket 1U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 packs two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors, each with 16 cores running at 2.1 GHz, into a single rack unit. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 16 modules and a PERC H730P controller managing two 800 GB SATA SSDs. Redundant 750 W power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management complete the package.

Suited for dense compute clusters.

This configuration targets scale-out tasks such as virtualisation, database serving or high-performance computing where many CPU cores and large memory capacity matter. The 1U chassis leaves no room for full-height add-in cards, so workloads that depend on GPU acceleration or additional PCIe devices will not fit. Buyers needing more than 24 DIMM slots or more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays should evaluate larger form factors.

512 GB DDR4 across 16 DIMMs with 8 slots free

The system arrives with 512 GB installed in 16 of the 24 available DDR4 slots, leaving eight slots open for expansion up to the 3 TB maximum. This memory headroom is the key figure when planning future growth or licensing costs tied to per-socket capacity.
