Dense 1U dual-socket compute platform

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server built for scale-out data centre workloads. Two Intel Xeon Silver 4116 processors provide 24 cores at 2.1 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo. 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory occupies eight of 24 slots. Eight 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives connect through a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache.

Suited for virtualisation clusters

This configuration fits environments that need high core density and fast local storage in a single rack unit. The quad-port network daughter card delivers two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links. Buyers who require more than 24 memory slots, additional drive bays or a different processor family should evaluate alternative platforms.

PERC H730P RAID controller with battery-backed cache

The storage controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Its 2 GB cache and battery backup protect write data during power loss. This specification determines whether the server meets the resilience and performance needs of the target application.

Questions about this item

Will the Xeon Silver 4116 processors work with my existing DDR4 2400MHz registered ECC memory modules?

Yes, the two Xeon Silver 4116 CPUs run at 2.1GHz with 12 cores each and support DDR4 2400MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots up to 3TB total.

How can I verify the PERC H730P controller and all eight 1.2TB SAS drives are healthy after installation?

Use the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface to check controller battery status, drive SMART data, and RAID virtual disk state; the front LCD also shows system health LEDs.

Does the shipment include the Intel X520/I350 quad-port network daughter card with two 1GbE and two 10Gb SFP+ ports?

Yes, the box contains the server with bezel, ready rails, two 750W platinum power supplies, the X520/I350 daughter card, PERC H730P with battery, and the eight 1.2TB SAS drives installed.
