Dual-Socket 1U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server built for dense scale-out data center workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores and a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across eight modules. A PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache manages eight 800 GB SATA SSDs.

Compute-Dense Deployments

This configuration suits operators who need maximum core count and memory capacity in a single rack unit. The dual-socket design and 24 DIMM slots support up to 3 TB of RAM for virtualisation or database tasks. Buyers who require more than two processors or more than 24 memory slots should consider a larger chassis. The 2.5-inch drive bays limit storage to SATA or SAS media.

24 DIMM Slots for 3 TB Maximum Memory

The motherboard provides 24 DDR4 slots and a 3 TB ceiling, which is the decisive figure for memory-heavy applications. Populating all slots with higher-capacity modules reaches that limit. If the workload demands more memory channels or a higher per-socket capacity, this platform cannot deliver it.

Questions about this item

When will the PERC H730P controller battery need replacement?

The PERC H730P includes a battery-backed cache module; typical service life is several years before the battery requires replacement to maintain write-back caching.

What thermal limit appears first when both Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs run at 3.7 GHz continuously?

Sustained turbo at 3.7 GHz across 16 cores per socket will hit the 1U chassis cooling capacity before the processors reach their own thermal ceiling.

How loud are the fans and what power do the dual 750 W PSUs draw under full load?

Dual 750 W platinum supplies feed the system; fan speed ramps with inlet temperature, producing noticeable airflow noise in a 1U rack form factor.
