DELL PowerEdge R640 1U rack server 2x Xeon Bronze 3106 1.7GHz 256GB DDR4 H730

Dell PowerEdge R640 1U server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server built for business workloads such as virtualization, databases and application hosting. It ships with dual Intel Xeon Bronze 3106 eight-core processors running at 1.7GHz and 256GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots. A Dell Perc H730 2GB storage controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 for up to eight 2.5-inch hot-plug SAS or SATA drives.

Suited for virtualization

This configuration fits organisations that need dense compute and large memory capacity in a single rack unit for running multiple virtual machines or data-heavy applications. The H730 controller and redundant 750W power supplies simplify ongoing management and uptime. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, 10GbE networking out of the box or storage beyond the eight 2.5-inch bays should evaluate alternative platforms.

Memory fixed at 256GB DDR4

The system arrives with 256GB installed and the specifications list a maximum capacity of 256GB, so no further memory expansion is possible on this unit. The 24 slots are fully populated with registered ECC DDR4 modules operating at speeds supported by the Bronze 3106 processors. Confirm this capacity meets your workload before purchase.
