Dense Scale-Out Compute Platform

This 1U rack server delivers dual-socket performance in a compact form factor. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4116 processors running at 2.1GHz with 12 cores each. The system includes 768GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots. Eight 600GB 10K SAS drives and a PERC H730P controller provide the storage foundation.

Suited For Virtualisation And Database Workloads

Organisations running memory-intensive applications, virtualisation clusters or transactional databases will benefit from the high core count and large memory capacity. The quad-port network card with 1GbE and 10Gb SFP+ supports flexible connectivity. Buyers who need more than 24 memory slots, additional drive bays beyond eight, or GPU acceleration should evaluate other platforms.

Dual-Socket 1U With 768GB DDR4

The defining specification is the combination of two populated processor sockets and 768GB of installed DDR4 memory in a 1U chassis. This configuration maximises compute density for scale-out deployments. The system reaches its maximum processor limit of two, so future CPU expansion is not possible without replacing the platform.

Questions about this item

Do I need to supply my own SFP+ modules for the 10 GbE ports on the X520/I350 daughter card?

Yes, the X520/I350 quad-port card provides two SFP+ cages for 10 GbE; compatible SFP+ transceivers and fibre or direct-attach cables must be purchased separately.

Can I keep my existing 6 Gb/s SAS drives and use them with the PERC H730P controller in this R640?

The H730P is a 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller that is backward-compatible with 6 Gb/s and 3 Gb/s SAS or SATA drives, so your current drives will operate at their native speed.

How can I confirm the iDRAC9 Enterprise licence is active after the server is racked and powered on?

During POST press the indicated key to enter the iDRAC configuration utility, set a static IP, then browse to that address — the dashboard will display “iDRAC9 Enterprise” and show full remote-console, virtual-media and telemetry features.
