Dense 1U Dual-Socket Platform

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon Silver 4116 processors running at 2.1 GHz with twelve cores each. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across four modules. The system uses the Intel C620 chipset and supports up to 3 TB of memory across twenty-four slots. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and ready rails are included.

Suits Virtualisation and Scale-Out Workloads

This configuration targets environments that need high compute density in a single rack unit, such as virtualisation clusters, container platforms or scale-out databases. The quad-port network daughter card provides two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ links for flexible fabric connectivity. Buyers who need more internal drive bays or GPU acceleration should look at larger chassis options. Organisations requiring single-socket economics or lower core counts will find this platform overspecified.

RAID Controller and Remote Management Included

The PERC H730P 2 GB controller enables RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with battery-backed cache for data protection. Two 300 GB 10K SAS drives are pre-installed in the eight-bay 2.5-inch backplane. iDRAC 9 Enterprise provides comprehensive out-of-band management, monitoring and automation without an additional licence. The front bezel and sliding rails complete the deployment-ready package.

Questions about this item

What rack space and power connections are needed to install this 1U server?

The unit occupies 1U in a standard rack and includes two hot-swap 750 W power supplies that each require a separate AC circuit or PDU outlet.

Can the existing PERC H730P controller manage the two 300 GB SAS drives together with additional SATA SSDs?

Yes, the H730P supports mixed SAS and SATA drives and can configure them in RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60 across its 12 Gb/s ports.

How can I confirm the 64 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz ECC memory is recognised and healthy after first boot?

Open the iDRAC 9 Enterprise interface or the system BIOS; both will display the total installed capacity, speed, ECC status and any DIMM errors.
