Dense 1U dual-socket server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server built for dense scale-out computing. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4116 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 12 cores. The system includes 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 16 modules. Eight 800 GB SATA SSDs and a PERC H730P controller provide the primary storage.

Suited for virtualisation clusters.

This configuration fits virtualisation hosts, database nodes or high-performance computing clusters that need maximum compute density in a single rack unit. The dual-socket design and 24 memory slots support up to 3 TB of DDR4 for memory-heavy applications. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or more than two processors should evaluate alternative platforms because the chassis and chipset do not support those requirements.

PERC H730P RAID controller with battery-backed cache

The installed Dell PERC H730P storage controller delivers 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity with 2 GB of battery-backed cache. It supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 as well as pass-through mode. This controller determines the data-protection schemes and performance ceiling for the eight installed SSDs.

Questions about this item

What rack space and power circuits must I already have for this 1U server with dual 750 W PSUs?

Reserve 1U of rack height and provision two independent circuits for the redundant 750 W power supplies.

Will the PERC H730P controller and 2.5-inch SATA bays accept my existing 2.5-inch SATA drives?

Yes, the H730P supports SATA and SAS, so 2.5-inch SATA drives fit the eight drive bays directly.

How do I confirm iDRAC9 Enterprise is active after the first boot?

During POST the iDRAC9 Enterprise banner appears, and the dedicated management port shows a reachable IP address.
