Dense 1U dual-socket server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 packs two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors running at 2.3 GHz with 12 cores each into a single rack unit. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730P controller managing eight 800 GB SATA SSDs. Quad-port networking with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links plus iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management complete the package.

Suits virtualization and database clusters

This configuration fits teams running dense virtualization hosts, in-memory databases or high-throughput transactional workloads that benefit from 24 cores and large memory capacity in minimal rack space. Buyers who need more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays or a different storage interface will require a different chassis.

PERC H730P with 2 GB cache

The installed Dell PERC H730P controller provides 2 GB of backed cache and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode, which determines the data-protection schemes and performance ceiling for the eight SATA SSDs.

Questions about this item

What SATA speed do the eight 800 GB SSDs use with the H730P controller?

The installed 2.5-inch SSDs run at SATA 6 Gb/s through the PERC H730P 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller.

What rail kit is included and what rack height does the 1U chassis need?

Ready Rails are supplied with the server; the unit occupies 1U of vertical space in a standard rack.

How is the H730P controller installed and which step is commonly missed?

The controller is pre-installed in a dedicated slot; the step often missed is connecting the RAID battery to the controller before powering on.
