Dense dual-socket compute

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server built for scale-out data centre workloads. Two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors provide 16 cores each at 2.1 GHz with a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 768 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache.

Suits virtualisation clusters not GPU farms

This configuration fits environments that need high core density and large memory capacity in a single rack unit, such as virtualisation hosts or database nodes. The eight 2.5-inch drive bays and dual 10 Gb SFP+ ports support storage and network throughput for those tasks. Buyers who require GPU acceleration or more than two processors should evaluate alternative platforms.

768 GB DDR4 installed memory

The server arrives with 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory installed across all 24 DIMM slots, reaching the full population for dual-processor operation. Expansion beyond this amount would require replacing existing modules because no free slots remain. Confirm that the installed capacity matches the application requirement before purchase.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the PERC H730P controller is operating with its 2GB cache after installation?

The controller includes a 2GB cache module with battery backup; during POST the BIOS reports the cache size and battery status, and the iDRAC9 Enterprise dashboard shows the controller health, cache state and RAID configuration in real time.

Which items ship with the server and which components must be sourced separately?

The unit includes two Xeon Gold 6130 processors, 768GB DDR4 in 24 slots, the H730P controller with battery, two 400GB SATA SSDs, the X520/I350 quad-port network daughter card, iDRAC9 Enterprise, two 750W platinum PSUs, Ready Rails and front bezel. Additional drive caddies, extra SSDs or memory modules are not included.

Should I choose the 768GB configuration or expand toward the 3TB maximum for virtualisation workloads?

The system ships with 768GB across 24 DDR4 slots using 32GB modules. If your virtualisation density requires more capacity, you can populate the remaining slots up to the 3TB limit with compatible DDR4 registered ECC DIMMs.
