Dense 1U dual-socket platform

The PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors running at 2.3 GHz, each with 12 cores. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 16 modules and a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache. Two 300 GB 10 K SAS drives, a quad-port 1 GbE and 10 GbE SFP+ network card, iDRAC 9 Enterprise, redundant 750 W platinum power supplies, rails and bezel complete the package.

Suited for virtualisation and database clusters.

This server targets organisations that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a single rack unit for virtualisation, database or high-performance computing clusters. The eight 2.5-inch drive bays and SAS controller support RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Buyers who require GPU acceleration or more than eight drive bays should consider other form factors.

512 GB DDR4 registered ECC across 24 slots

The installed memory uses DDR4 registered ECC DIMMs operating at 2400 MHz, populating 16 of the 24 available slots. Maximum supported capacity is 3 TB when all slots are filled with compatible modules. This specification determines whether the system can handle the intended workload or if a memory upgrade is required before deployment.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.5-inch SAS bays in this 1U server accept the 3.5-inch drives from my older rack?

No, the eight front bays are built for 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives only; 3.5-inch drives will not fit.

How can I confirm the PERC H730P controller is healthy after installation?

Open the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface or the controller BIOS during boot and verify the battery-backed cache shows 2GB and all configured virtual disks report Optimal status.

Which accessories are included and what must I supply myself?

The box contains the 1U chassis, two Xeon Gold 5118 CPUs, sixteen 32GB DDR4 DIMMs, the H730P controller, two 300GB SAS drives, X520/I350 quad-port network card, iDRAC9 Enterprise, two 750W PSUs, front bezel and ReadyRails; you must provide SFP+ modules, an operating system and any additional drives.
