1U dual-socket server with 32 cores

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server built for dense scale-out workloads. Two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors at 2.1 GHz provide 32 total cores with turbo up to 3.7 GHz. The system includes 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 16 modules. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise management are standard.

Fits virtualization hosts needing maximum core

This configuration suits clusters that prioritize compute density and remote management in a single rack unit. The PERC H730P controller supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 with 2 GB cache and battery backup. Quad-port networking adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links. Buyers who require pre-installed drives or more than eight 2.5-inch bays should consider a different chassis.

Eight 2.5-inch SAS/SATA trays define storage

The server ships with eight hot-swap trays for 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives but no drives are installed. Maximum memory capacity reaches 3 TB across 24 DDR4 slots, leaving eight slots free for future expansion. The Intel C620 chipset and LGA 3647 sockets support the current dual-processor layout. Network connectivity uses the X520/I350 daughter card for mixed 1 GbE and 10 Gb SFP+ traffic.

Questions about this item

Does the R640 ship with any drives or do I need to buy SAS or SATA drives separately?

The unit includes eight 2.5-inch SAS/SATA drive trays but no hard drives or SSDs are installed. You must supply your own drives.

Is the installed 512 GB DDR4 2666 MHz memory the maximum this server can hold?

No. The system has 24 DDR4 slots and supports up to 3 TB, so the current 16 x 32 GB modules leave room for expansion.

What RAID levels can the PERC H730P 2 GB controller handle with the drives I add?

The H730P supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode for the SAS or SATA drives you install.
