Dense 1U compute platform

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a dual-socket 1U rack server built for scale-out data centre workloads. Two Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors run at 3.2 GHz with 8 cores each. The system ships with 256 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 8 modules. Eight 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives connect through a PERC H730P 2 GB controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60.

Virtualisation hosts and database clusters

This configuration suits virtualisation hosts, database clusters and high-performance computing nodes that need dense CPU and memory capacity in a single rack unit. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise remote management support continuous operation. Buyers who need more than 24 memory slots or more than eight 2.5 inch drive bays will need a larger chassis.

Eight 1.2 TB SAS drives on PERC H730P

The storage subsystem provides eight 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives managed by the H730P controller with 2 GB cache and battery backup. This drive count and RAID flexibility determine whether the server meets capacity and redundancy requirements for the target workload.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the PERC H730P controller and both Xeon Gold 6134 CPUs are detected after first boot?

Open the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface or press F2 during POST to enter System Setup; both processors and the H730P with its 2GB cache will appear in the hardware inventory.

What ships with the server and what must I source separately?

Included: 2x Xeon Gold 6134 3.2GHz CPUs, 256GB DDR4 2666MHz (8x 32GB), H730P 2GB controller, 8x 1.2TB 10K SAS 2.5" drives, X520/I350 quad-port 2x 1GbE 2x 10Gb SFP+ card, iDRAC9 Enterprise, 2x 750W platinum PSUs, ReadyRails and front bezel. No extra parts are required for basic operation.

Which drive capacity should I choose for this 8-bay 2.5" chassis?

The system arrives populated with eight 1.2TB 10K SAS drives; all bays are filled, so select additional 2.5" SAS drives only if you plan to replace existing units.
