Dense 1U dual-socket server for scale-out workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R640 fits two Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors and 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory into a single rack unit. Eight 2.5-inch drive bays connect to a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache and battery backup. Quad-port networking delivers two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links, while iDRAC 9 Enterprise handles remote management. Redundant 750 W platinum supplies, rails and bezel complete the package.

Sustained compute with turbo headroom and large

Each Gold 6134 runs eight cores at a 3.2 GHz base frequency and can reach 3.7 GHz turbo under load, giving consistent throughput for virtualisation, databases or HPC tasks. The 24 DIMM slots are fully populated with 32 GB modules at 2666 MHz, leaving no empty slots for further expansion without removing memory. The C620 chipset supports up to 3 TB total capacity, so future growth would require higher-density DIMMs. Two processors are the maximum this chassis accepts.

Redundant platinum power supplies

Dual 750 W platinum-efficiency units share the load and maintain operation if one fails, while the 1U chassis directs air from front bezel to rear exhaust across the CPUs, memory and drive cage. The PERC H730P battery protects cached writes during unexpected power loss. Acoustic output scales with inlet temperature and workload intensity, typical for dense rack environments. No liquid cooling or additional fan options are described in the specifications.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the R640 run with both Xeon Gold 6134 CPUs at 3.2 GHz under continuous load?

The server uses redundant 750 Watt platinum power supplies and a 1U chassis; fan speed ramps with CPU temperature, so sustained 3.2 GHz operation will increase airflow and heat output compared with idle.

Which cables and drive carriers do I need to use the eight 2.5-inch SAS bays and the PERC H730P controller?

The eight 600 GB 10K SAS drives ship installed in the 2.5-inch hot-swap bays; the H730P controller connects to the backplane internally, so no extra cables are required for the factory configuration.

Will the iDRAC 9 Enterprise port and the X520/I350 network daughter card work with my existing 1 GbE and 10 GbE network switches?

The daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 GbE SFP+ connections, while iDRAC 9 Enterprise uses a dedicated 1 GbE management port, both compatible with standard Ethernet switching.
