1U Dual-Socket Rack Platform

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server built for dense scale-out deployments. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors, each running at 2.3 GHz with 12 cores. The system includes 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across four 16 GB modules. Eight 600 GB 10K SAS drives and a PERC H730P controller provide the primary storage foundation.

Suited for Virtualisation and Database Workloads

This configuration serves environments that demand dual-socket compute density and hardware RAID across multiple spindles. The quad-port network daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links for flexible connectivity. Buyers who require solid-state latency or more than eight drive bays in a 1U chassis should evaluate other platforms. The installed CPU count already reaches the platform maximum of two sockets.

PERC H730P 2 GB RAID Controller

The storage subsystem centres on the Dell PERC H730P with 2 GB cache and battery backup. It manages the eight 600 GB SAS drives at 12 Gb/s and supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. This controller determines the achievable redundancy, capacity and performance envelope for the installed drive set.

Questions about this item

Do I need to provide my own SFP+ transceivers for the 10 GbE ports on the X520/I350 daughter card?

The card provides two 10 GbE SFP+ ports; compatible SFP+ modules and cables are not included and must be sourced separately.

Can I keep my existing 6 Gb/s SAS or SATA drives and add them to the PERC H730P controller?

The PERC H730P supports 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA and will negotiate down to 6 Gb/s, so older drives can be mixed in the same array.

How can I verify the dual Xeon Gold 5118 CPUs and 64 GB DDR4 are recognised after first boot?

Open the iDRAC9 Enterprise web interface or press F2 at POST; both will show two 12-core processors at 2.3 GHz and 64 GB of registered ECC memory.
