1U dual-socket rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server fitted with 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 24 slots and a PERC H730P 2 GB controller managing two 400 GB SATA SSDs. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies, an X520/I350 quad-port network card and iDRAC9 Enterprise complete the package. Rails and bezel are included.

Suits dense scale-out workloads

This configuration fits environments that need high compute density in a single rack unit with hardware RAID and remote management built in. Buyers who require more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays or additional PCIe expansion beyond the integrated networking should evaluate larger chassis options. The fixed 1U height also limits GPU or FPGA accelerator installation.

24 DDR4 slots up to 3 TB

The motherboard provides 24 DIMM slots supporting DDR4 registered ECC modules with a maximum capacity of 3 TB. This ceiling determines whether the server can grow into memory-intensive database or virtualisation roles without a platform change.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 2.5" SSDs into the 8-bay front chassis and which step is often missed?

Slide each drive into a bay until the carrier locks; the step often missed is configuring the virtual disk in the PERC H730P BIOS before the OS sees the volume.

Which components will need replacement first during long-term operation?

The PERC H730P 2GB cache battery and the two 750 Watt redundant power supplies are the parts most likely to require replacement after extended use.

What thermal or power limit appears first when both Xeon Silver 4110 CPUs run at 3.0 GHz turbo continuously?

The 750 Watt redundant power supplies set the ceiling; sustained 3.0 GHz turbo on both 8-core processors can exceed their combined output before thermal throttling activates.
