Dense 1U dual-socket server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server built for dense scale-out computing. It carries two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores each. Memory is 768 GB of DDR4 ECC registered DIMMs across 24 slots. Storage uses eight 400 GB SATA SSDs on a PERC H730P controller with battery-backed cache. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise management are included.

Suits virtualisation and database clusters.

This configuration fits virtualisation hosts, database clusters and high-density compute farms that need dual-socket performance in a single rack unit. The quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links for flexible fabric integration. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or more than eight drive bays should look at a different platform.

Eight 400 GB SATA SSDs on H730P RAID

The installed storage consists of eight 400 GB SATA SSDs managed by the PERC H730P 2 GB controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This capacity and controller combination determines whether the server meets the IOPS and redundancy requirements of the target workload.

Questions about this item

What rack height and rail kit does the 1U PowerEdge R640 require?

The server occupies a single 1U rack space and ships with Ready Rails for standard square-hole or round-hole cabinets.

How are the two Xeon Gold 6130 processors and 24 DDR4 modules installed, and what step is often missed?

Both LGA 3647 CPUs are pre-installed; the 24 DIMM slots are populated with 32 GB registered ECC modules, and the memory configuration must follow the per-channel population order in the service manual.

When will the PERC H730P controller battery and the 750 W power supplies need replacement?

The RAID controller battery typically lasts three to five years; the hot-swap platinum PSUs are rated for continuous operation and are replaced only if a unit fails or shows a fault LED.
