Dual-socket 1U server for dense compute

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server built for scale-out workloads. Two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors deliver 24 cores at 2.3 GHz with 3.2 GHz turbo. Sixty-four gigabytes of DDR4 registered ECC memory and eight 2.4 TB SAS drives sit behind a PERC H730P controller. Quad-port networking adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links.

Suits virtualisation clusters and database nodes.

This configuration fits organisations running virtualisation clusters, database nodes or high-throughput file services. Buyers who need GPU acceleration for AI training or single-threaded burst performance should evaluate alternative platforms. The 1U depth and dual 750 W platinum power supplies support standard rack deployments with redundant hot-swap power.

12 Gb/s SAS controller

The PERC H730P provides 12 Gb/s SAS connectivity with 2 GB battery-backed cache and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Eight front-accessible 2.5 inch bays are populated with 10 K rpm enterprise drives. iDRAC 9 Enterprise enables remote management across the fleet.

The card provides two 1GbE ports and two 10Gb SFP+ ports for connection to matching switch interfaces.

Can the PERC H730P controller manage the eight 2.4TB SAS drives alongside older SATA drives I might add later?

The controller supports both SAS and SATA drives in the same enclosure for mixed arrays.

How do I confirm the iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management is active after the server powers on?

The iDRAC network indicator on the front panel lights up once it acquires an IP address.
