Dense 1U dual-socket server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server built for dense scale-out data centre deployments. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4110 processors, 256GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory and eight 800GB SATA SSDs. A PERC H730P controller and quad-port 1GbE/10GbE networking card are included.

Suits virtualisation and database clusters

This configuration fits workloads that need high core density and fast local storage in a single rack unit. Buyers who require more than 256GB of memory or additional drive bays should evaluate larger chassis options.

PERC H730P RAID controller

The installed Dell PERC H730P 2GB controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes with battery-backed cache. This determines the data-protection and performance profile for the eight SSDs.

Questions about this item

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

Slide each drive into a bay until the latch clicks; the step often missed is confirming the PERC H730P RAID configuration in the controller BIOS before the OS sees the volumes.

What maintenance will the PERC H730P controller battery need, and when?

The 2GB cache battery on the H730P typically lasts three to five years; plan to replace it when iDRAC 9 Enterprise reports a battery-learn cycle failure or degraded write-back cache.

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

The dual 750 W platinum PSUs and 1U airflow path reach their cooling ceiling before the CPUs hit their 85 W TDP ceiling, so sustained turbo clocks will throttle first.
