Dense 1U dual-socket server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server built around two Intel Xeon Silver 4110 processors running at 2.1 GHz with eight cores each. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules and includes a PERC H730P storage controller with 2 GB cache. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise remote management complete the base configuration.

Suits scale-out compute nodes.

This platform fits dense scale-out workloads such as virtualization clusters, HPC nodes or container hosts that benefit from two sockets in 1U. Buyers who need more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays, additional PCIe expansion slots or a single-socket design for lighter tasks should evaluate other form factors. The included quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ connections for flexible fabric integration.

Eight 2.5-inch SAS/SATA drive bays define storage

The chassis provides eight hot-swap trays that accept SAS or SATA drives, but no drives are installed. Maximum memory capacity reaches 3 TB across 24 DDR4 slots, allowing future expansion beyond the 256 GB fitted today. The H730P controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode for software-defined storage stacks.

Questions about this item

What drive trays and backplane does the R640 include so I can add my own drives?

The server ships with eight 2.5" SAS/SATA trays wired to the PERC H730P controller; no drives are installed.

Will my existing PERC H730P RAID configuration import cleanly into this R640?

Yes, the onboard H730P 2GB controller supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 and will recognise foreign configurations from earlier PERC cards.

How do I confirm the dual Xeon Silver 4110 CPUs and 256GB DDR4 are active after first boot?

Open the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface — it shows both 8-core processors at 2.1GHz and all 256GB of registered ECC memory.
