Dual-socket 1U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server built for dense scale-out data centre computing. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores. The system includes 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller with 2 GB cache. Two 800 GB SATA SSDs are installed in the eight-bay 2.5-inch chassis.

Suits virtualisation clusters, not GPU workloads

This configuration suits virtualisation clusters, database nodes 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+ connections for flexible fabric integration. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or more than two processors should evaluate other platforms because the 1U form factor and C620 chipset limit expansion to two CPUs.

PERC H730P RAID controller decides storage

The PERC H730P controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode, backed by a battery-protected 2 GB cache. It manages the two installed 800 GB SATA SSDs and any additional SATA or SAS drives placed in the remaining six bays. This single component determines whether the server can meet your redundancy and performance requirements for local storage.

Questions about this item

How do I install the DDR4 memory modules into the 24 slots, and which step do people often get wrong?

The system has 24 DDR4 slots supporting up to 3TB; the common error is not populating all channels evenly across both CPUs, which reduces bandwidth.

What maintenance will the PERC H730P controller battery need later?

The H730P includes a 2GB cache with a battery-backed write-back module; the battery typically requires replacement every few years to preserve cached data during power loss.

What thermal limit appears first when both Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs run at 3.7GHz turbo under sustained load?

The 1U chassis with dual 750W PSUs hits its cooling ceiling before the CPUs reach their 3.7GHz turbo ceiling, so clock speeds throttle to stay within thermal limits.
