Dense 1U dual-socket server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 packs two Intel Xeon Gold 6142 processors, each with 16 cores at 2.6 GHz, into a single rack unit. Sixty-four gigabytes of DDR4 registered ECC memory and eight 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives are installed. A PERC H730P controller, quad-port 1GbE and 10Gb SFP+ networking, iDRAC9 Enterprise and redundant 750 W platinum power supplies complete the configuration.

Suits dense scale-out workloads

This server fits organisations that need maximum compute density for virtualisation, database or high-performance computing clusters in a 1U form factor. Buyers who require more than two processors, GPU acceleration or drive bays beyond the eight 2.5-inch SAS slots should evaluate other platforms.

Eight 2.5-inch SAS drive bays

The chassis provides exactly eight hot-swap 2.5-inch SAS bays, populated with 1.2 TB 10K drives and managed by the H730P RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This bay count and interface determine whether the storage layout matches your application requirements.

Questions about this item

Will the server’s 2.6 GHz Xeon Gold 6142 CPUs and DDR4 memory work with my existing LGA 3647 infrastructure?

Yes, both processors use the LGA 3647 socket and the system runs DDR4 registered ECC memory, so they are compatible with other LGA 3647 platforms that support the same memory type.

How can I verify the PERC H730P controller and all eight 1.2 TB SAS drives are operating correctly after installation?

Use the iDRAC 9 Enterprise interface to check controller health, drive status, and RAID configuration, and review the POST messages during boot for any hardware alerts.

Does the shipment include the front bezel and sliding rails, or must I order them separately?

The front bezel and Ready Rails are included in the box, so no separate purchase is required for those items.
