Dual-Socket 1U Platform

The PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server built for dense scale-out data centre computing. Two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors deliver 16 cores each at 2.1 GHz with a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. The system ships with 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and supports up to 3 TB total capacity. A PERC H730P controller manages eight 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives in the front 2.5-inch bays.

Density-Focused Workloads

This configuration suits virtualisation clusters, hyper-converged infrastructure nodes and high-throughput database tiers that benefit from dual-socket performance in a single rack unit. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise simplify fleet management. It is not for buyers who need GPU acceleration, more than 24 DIMM slots, or storage interfaces beyond SAS and SATA.

PERC H730P RAID Controller

The installed Dell PERC H730P 2 GB controller provides 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity with battery-backed cache. It supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode, determining which drive topologies and data-protection schemes are possible. Verify that your workload’s RAID requirements match these levels before deployment.

Questions about this item

What rack height does this 1U server occupy?

The PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server, occupying a single rack unit in a standard rack enclosure.

Which memory specification must match the installed 2666MHz DDR4 modules when expanding?

Additional memory must be DDR4 2666MHz Registered ECC to match the 4x 16GB modules already installed across the 24 slots.

What component of the PERC H730P controller requires periodic replacement to preserve RAID cache protection?

The controller includes a battery that backs the 2GB cache; this battery should be monitored and replaced when it reaches end of life.
