Dense 1U dual-socket server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server built for dense scale-out workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4116 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 12 cores. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules. Eight 300 GB 10K SAS drives and a PERC H730P controller provide internal storage.

Verify rack space and network needs

Confirm the 1U rack height fits the available cabinet space and that rails can be mounted. The motherboard uses LGA 3647 sockets and the Intel C620 chipset, supporting up to 24 DDR4 slots for future expansion. Network connectivity relies on an Intel X520/I350 daughter card delivering two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports. Ensure the switch side has matching SFP+ transceivers and cabling.

Included rails, bezel and remote management

Ready Rails and a front bezel are supplied, simplifying installation in standard racks. iDRAC 9 Enterprise enables out-of-band remote management, monitoring and virtual console access over a dedicated network connection. Two hot-swap 750 W platinum power supplies provide redundancy without extra cabling. The PERC H730P battery-backed cache protects write data during unexpected power loss.

Questions about this item

Does the server ship with all eight 300 GB SAS drives and the two 750 W power supplies installed, or must I order them separately?

The unit arrives with eight 300 GB 10K SAS drives and two redundant 750 W platinum power supplies already fitted, plus rails and bezel.

Which memory configuration is already populated in the 24 DDR4 slots?

Eight 32 GB DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC modules are installed for 256 GB total, leaving 16 slots free for expansion up to 3 TB.

What RAID levels can the PERC H730P controller handle with the eight installed drives?

The H730P supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, so any standard redundancy or striping scheme across the eight 300 GB drives is available.
