Dense 1U dual-socket server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server built for scale-out workloads. It carries two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors at 2.3 GHz with 12 cores each. Memory is 768 GB of DDR4 ECC across 24 slots. Storage uses a PERC H730P controller with two 400 GB SATA SSDs installed in the eight 2.5-inch bays.

Virtualisation and database clusters

This configuration suits virtualisation hosts, database clusters and high-density compute farms that need redundant 750 W power supplies and quad-port networking with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links. iDRAC 9 Enterprise gives full remote management. Buyers who need more than eight drive bays or GPU-ready slots should look at a larger chassis.

Eight 2.5-inch bays with PERC H730P

The eight 2.5-inch drive bays and the PERC H730P RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 determine whether the storage layout fits your workload. Memory can grow to 3 TB using the 24 DDR4 slots. Network connectivity is fixed to the installed X520/I350 daughter card.

Questions about this item

What rack space and mounting hardware do I need to install this 1U server?

The R640 occupies 1U of rack height and ships with Ready Rails and a front bezel for standard four-post rack mounting.

Will the PERC H730P controller support my existing 2.5" SATA drives alongside the installed 400GB SSDs?

Yes, the H730P handles 12Gb/s SAS and SATA, so additional 2.5" SATA drives can be added to the remaining six bays and configured in RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60.

How can I verify the dual Xeon Gold 5118 CPUs and 768GB DDR4 are recognised after power-on?

During POST the system BIOS will list both 12-core processors at 2.30 GHz and show 768GB of registered ECC DDR4; iDRAC 9 Enterprise then reports the same inventory in its hardware overview.
