Dense 1U Compute Platform

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a dual-socket 1U rack server built for scale-out data centre workloads. Two Intel Xeon Silver 4116 processors deliver 24 cores at 2.1 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo. Sixty-four gigabytes of DDR4 registered ECC memory and eight 600 GB 10K SAS drives are managed by a PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies, iDRAC9 Enterprise, and a quad-port 1 GbE and 10 Gb SFP+ network card complete the package.

Suited For Virtualisation And Database Clusters

This configuration suits teams running virtualisation hosts, database clusters, or high-performance computing jobs that benefit from 24 cores and fast SAS storage in a single rack unit. Buyers who need more than 3 TB of memory, more than two processors, or storage interfaces beyond SAS and SATA should evaluate larger chassis options.

Deciding Specification: 24 Core Dual-Socket In 1U

The defining attribute is the 24 combined cores packed into a 1U form factor with eight hot-swap drive bays and dual 10 Gb SFP+ ports. If the workload demands that density of compute, memory capacity, and network throughput in one rack unit, this server matches the requirement; otherwise a 2U or 4U platform may offer more expansion.

Questions about this item

How many 2.5-inch drive bays does the R640 provide for the installed 600 GB SAS disks?

The 1U chassis has 8 front-accessible 2.5-inch bays, each populated with a 600 GB 10K SAS drive connected to the PERC H730P controller.

What is the maximum power draw the dual 750 W platinum supplies must handle under continuous load?

Each supply is rated at 750 W platinum efficiency, giving redundant capacity for the dual Xeon Silver 4116 processors, 64 GB DDR4, eight SAS drives and the X520/I350 network card.

Which memory type and speed must already be in place to expand the 64 GB DDR4 configuration?

The system uses registered ECC DDR4 2400 MHz modules; any additional DIMMs must match that specification to populate the remaining slots.
