DELL PowerEdge R640 1U rack server 2x Xeon Gold 6142 2.6GHz 16-core 512GB DDR4 H730P

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

The PowerEdge R640 packs two Xeon Gold 6142 processors, each with 16 cores at 2.6 GHz, into a single rack unit. With 512 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots, it targets virtualization clusters, HPC nodes and database tiers that demand high core density and large memory capacity per U. The PERC H730P controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with a 2 GB cache and battery backup.

Tool-less rails and front-access trays simplify

Ready Rails slide into standard square-hole or round-hole racks without tools, and the bezel snaps on after the chassis is seated. Eight 2.5-inch SAS/SATA drive trays pull from the front, so drive swaps never require cabling behind the server. The only common snag is forgetting to populate both CPU sockets before boot; the system will not post with a single processor in socket 1 if socket 0 is empty.

Redundant 750 W platinum supplies sustain full

Dual hot-swap power supplies share the load evenly, so a single unit can carry the entire configuration if its partner fails. The Intel C620 chipset and Xeon Gold 6142 turbo up to 3.7 GHz under sustained multi-threaded work without throttling, provided inlet air stays within specification. iDRAC 9 Enterprise gives remote console, power control and hardware telemetry over a dedicated management port, keeping the host OS free for production traffic.
