Dense 1U dual-socket server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server with two Intel Xeon Silver 4116 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 12 cores. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 memory across 24 slots and a PERC H730P controller managing two 400 GB SATA SSDs. Dual 750 W power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise complete the package.

Suits scale-out compute.

This configuration targets dense scale-out workloads such as virtualization, cloud nodes or high-performance computing where dual-socket performance in 1U matters. The 2.5-inch bay count and PCIe layout limit GPU acceleration and large-capacity drive arrays. Buyers who need many drive bays, full-length cards or single-thread frequency above 3.0 GHz should evaluate other platforms.

PERC H730P RAID controller with 2 GB cache

The installed PERC H730P provides 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity with 2 GB of battery-backed cache. It supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. This controller determines which drive types and RAID levels are available, making it the key specification for storage planning.

Questions about this item

What does the 768GB DDR4 memory figure mean for workloads running on this server?

The system ships with 24 modules of 32GB DDR4 2400MHz registered ECC memory, filling all available slots and providing a large capacity for virtualisation or in-memory databases.

What does the PERC H730P 12Gb/s SAS/SATA controller cap in practice?

The controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with a 2GB cache battery, so the practical limit is the drive count and the 12Gb/s link speed of the backplane.

What physical mounting hardware is included for the 1U rack form factor?

Ready rails and a front bezel are included, allowing the 1U chassis to slide into a standard rack cabinet and secure at the front.
