DELL PowerEdge R640 1U rack server 2x Xeon Gold 6130 2.1GHz 16-core 768GB DDR4 8x 2.4TB SAS H730P

Dense 1U dual-socket server for scale-out workloads

The PowerEdge R640 fits two Xeon Gold 6130 processors and 768 GB of DDR4 ECC memory into a single rack unit. Eight 2.4 TB SAS drives connect through a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache. Quad-port networking adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links. iDRAC 9 Enterprise provides full remote management.

Sustained compute and storage throughput

Both 16-core CPUs hold a 2.1 GHz base clock and can reach 3.7 GHz turbo under load. The C620 chipset feeds 24 DIMM slots running at 2666 MHz, keeping memory bandwidth steady during long jobs. The H730P supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with battery-backed write cache, so heavy write streams stay consistent. Dual 750 W platinum supplies share the load without interruption.

Thermals, noise and power in normal use

Redundant hot-swap power supplies run at platinum efficiency, converting most input into usable output rather than heat. The 1U chassis uses directed airflow across the processors, memory and drive bays to keep component temperatures stable. Fan speeds adjust to workload, so idle noise remains low in a rack row. Power draw scales with the actual CPU and drive activity rather than peaking at the supply rating.
