Dense 1U dual-socket server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server built for dense scale-out data centre computing. It ships with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors running at 2.1 GHz, each providing 24 cores. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules. A PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache manages two 800 GB SATA SSDs in the 2.5-inch drive bays.

Virtualisation and database workloads

This configuration suits virtualisation hosts, database tiers and dense compute clusters that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a single rack unit. Buyers who require more than 3 TB of memory, additional drive bays beyond the eight 2.5-inch slots, or a different network interface than the installed quad-port 1 GbE and 10 GbE SFP+ card should evaluate other platforms.

PERC H730P RAID controller with battery

The storage subsystem centres on the Dell PERC H730P 2 GB 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller with battery backup. It supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode, which determines the data protection and performance profile for the installed SSDs and any future drives.

Questions about this item

What rack space and power circuits must be available for the 1U PowerEdge R640 with dual 750 Watt PSUs?

The server occupies 1U of rack height and includes two redundant 750 Watt Platinum power supplies with hot-swap capability.

Can the installed PERC H730P controller manage the existing 800GB SATA SSDs together with additional 2.5" SATA or SAS drives?

Yes, the H730P 2GB 12Gb/s SAS/SATA controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through for mixed SATA and SAS drives.

How can I confirm the iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management is active after the server is racked and powered?

Connect to the iDRAC9 Enterprise port, log in with the default credentials, and verify the firmware version and system health dashboard load without errors.
