Dual-socket 1U compute density

The PowerEdge R640 delivers two Xeon Gold 6142 processors with 16 cores each at 2.6 GHz, 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory and eight 300 GB 10 K SAS drives behind a PERC H730P controller. Dual 750 W platinum supplies, iDRAC9 Enterprise and a quad-port 1 GbE / 10 GbE SFP+ daughter card complete the package in a single rack unit.

Virtualization farms and database clusters

Suited for dense scale-out workloads that benefit from high core counts, large memory capacity and hardware RAID across SAS spindles. Buyers who need all-flash arrays, GPU acceleration or single-thread frequencies above 3.7 GHz should evaluate other platforms.

512 GB DDR4 registered ECC ceiling

The system ships with 16 populated DIMM slots at 2666 MHz, leaving eight slots open toward the 3 TB maximum. Confirm that your workload fits within this memory configuration before deployment.

Questions about this item

Do I need to supply my own SFP+ transceivers for the 10GbE ports on the X520/I350 card?

Yes, the quad-port daughter card provides two 10Gb SFP+ ports that require compatible transceivers and cabling to connect to your network switches.

Can the PERC H730P controller manage both the installed 300GB SAS drives and additional SATA SSDs in the same chassis?

Yes, the H730P supports mixed SAS and SATA drives across the eight 2.5-inch bays and can configure them in RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60 arrays.

How do I confirm the iDRAC9 Enterprise licence is active after the server boots?

Open a browser to the iDRAC IP address shown on the front LCD; the dashboard will display "Enterprise" under licence status and allow full remote console access.
