Dense 1U Dual-Socket Platform

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server built for scale-out data center workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors, each running at 2.3 GHz with 12 cores and a 3.2 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 768 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies, iDRAC 9 Enterprise, and a quad-port 1 GbE and 10 Gb SFP+ network daughter card complete the configuration. Rails and a front bezel are included.

Fits Dense Virtualisation And Database Clusters

This server suits buyers who need maximum compute density in a single rack unit with dual-socket performance and large memory capacity. The eight 2.5-inch SAS/SATA trays support high spindle-count storage arrays behind the hardware RAID controller. Buyers who require more than eight front-accessible drive bays or a taller chassis for additional expansion cards should consider a different form factor. The installed CPU count is already at the platform maximum of two sockets.

Eight 2.5-Inch SAS/SATA Drive Bays

The chassis provides exactly eight hot-swap trays for 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives with no drives installed. The PERC H730P controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes. Storage capacity and performance are determined entirely by the drives you populate in these eight bays.

Questions about this item

Will the R640's LGA 3647 Xeon Gold 5118 CPUs work with my existing DDR4 2400MHz registered ECC modules?

Yes, the installed 768GB uses 24x 32GB DDR4 2400MHz registered ECC. Matching speed and registered ECC type is required for compatibility.

How can I verify the PERC H730P controller and X520/I350 network card are functioning after installation?

Check the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface for controller health, RAID status, and network link state on the 2x 1GbE and 2x 10Gb SFP+ ports.

Which drive trays and rails ship with the R640, and do drives or SFP+ modules come included?

The box includes 8x 2.5" SAS/SATA trays, ready rails, and front bezel. No hard drives, SSDs, or SFP+ transceivers are included.
