1U rack server with dual 16-core Xeon Gold 6142 CPUs, 768GB DDR4 ECC memory, eight 1.2TB SAS drives on a PERC H730P controller, quad-port 1GbE and 10Gb SFP+ networking.
The PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server built around two Intel Xeon Gold 6142 processors running at 2.6 GHz with 16 cores each. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots and eight 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives managed by a PERC H730P controller. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise provide redundancy and remote management in a compact chassis.
This configuration suits organisations running virtualised workloads, database clusters or high-performance computing tasks that benefit from 32 total cores and large memory capacity. The quad-port network daughter card delivers two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections for flexible fabric integration. Buyers who require more than two processors, GPU acceleration or storage interfaces beyond SAS and SATA should evaluate alternative platforms because this chassis does not accommodate those requirements.
The installed PERC H730P controller supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode with a 2 GB battery-backed cache. This specification determines the achievable storage performance, redundancy options and rebuild behaviour for the eight drive bays. Verify that the RAID feature set matches your application requirements before deployment.
