Dense 1U dual-socket server

The PowerEdge R640 fits two Xeon Gold 6130 processors and 256GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory into a single rack unit. It targets data-centre workloads that demand high core density and fast local storage in minimal space. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or more than two sockets should look elsewhere.

16-core Xeon Gold 6130 at 2.1GHz

Each of the two installed CPUs provides 16 cores running at 2.1GHz with a 3.7GHz turbo frequency, delivering 32 total cores for heavily threaded applications. The LGA 3647 socket and C620 chipset limit upgrades to a second processor of the same generation, so the configuration is fixed at 32 cores.

Redundant 750W platinum supplies

Dual hot-swap 750 watt platinum-efficiency power supplies share the load and maintain operation if one unit fails. The 1U chassis uses high-speed internal fans to cool the CPUs, memory, eight 1.2TB SAS drives and the H730P controller, producing noticeable airflow noise typical of dense rack servers.

Questions about this item

What does having 256 GB of DDR4 across 8 DIMM slots mean for real workloads?

The 256 GB capacity is spread over eight 32 GB registered ECC modules running at 2666 MHz, leaving 16 empty slots for future expansion up to the platform maximum of 3 TB.

How does the PERC H730P 2 GB controller limit drive performance?

The 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with a 2 GB cache backed by battery, capping each of the eight 1.2 TB 10 K drives at the SAS 12 Gb/s link speed.

What physical mounting hardware is included for a standard rack?

The 1U chassis ships with ready rails and a front bezel, allowing direct installation in a standard square-hole or round-hole rack cabinet.
