DELL PowerEdge R640 1U rack server 2x Xeon Gold 6130 2.1GHz 16-core 64GB DDR4 8x 800GB SSD H730P

SKU CH-EW85-8W6WH

1U rack server with dual 16-core Xeon Gold 6130 processors, 64GB DDR4 ECC memory, eight 800GB SATA SSDs on an H730P RAID controller, quad-port 1GbE and 10Gb SFP+ networking.

  • ProcessorIntel Xeon

  • Video RAM8 MB
  • Installed SSD8 × 800 GB SATA SSD
  • ChipsetIntel C620
  • Processor core count16-Core Processor
  • Dual Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs provide 16 cores each at 2.1 GHz base clock
  • 64 GB DDR4 registered ECC memory supports up to 3 TB total capacity
  • PERC H730P controller enables RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 with 2 GB cache
  • Eight 800 GB SATA SSDs deliver high-speed storage in 2.5 inch bays
  • Quad-port network card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections

Dense 1U dual-socket server

The PowerEdge R640 fits two Xeon Gold 6130 processors into a single rack unit, delivering 16 cores per CPU at 2.1 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo. Sixty-four gigabytes of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots supports virtualization clusters and database workloads that demand high core density in minimal space.

Enterprise storage and networking

Eight 800 GB SATA SSDs connect through a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache, enabling RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. A quad-port daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links, while iDRAC9 Enterprise provides dedicated remote management. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and hot-swap bays keep the platform running during component changes.

Replaces older 1U or 2U boxes

Organizations consolidating legacy 1U or 2U servers gain twice the compute density and faster storage throughput without expanding rack footprint. The jump is worthwhile when workloads need more than 64 GB of memory or additional drive bays, since the chassis maxes at 3 TB RAM and eight 2.5-inch slots.

Questions about this item

What storage interface does the PERC H730P controller use, and what throughput does it cap at?

The PERC H730P is a 12Gb/s SAS/SATA controller that manages the eight installed 800GB SATA SSDs at up to 6Gb/s per drive.

What rack height and rail kit does the 1U chassis require for mounting?

The server occupies 1U of rack space and ships with Ready Rails sliding rails for tool-less installation in a standard 4-post rack.

How are the CPUs and memory installed, and which step is commonly missed?

Two Xeon Gold 6130 processors are pre-installed in the LGA 3647 sockets; the 64GB DDR4 2666MHz ECC DIMMs occupy four of the 24 slots and must be populated in the correct channel order per the memory configuration guide.
