Dense 1U Dual-Socket Platform

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server designed for dense scale-out data center computing. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4116 12-core processors running at 2.10 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo capability. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across eight 16 GB modules.

Suited for Virtualisation and Database Workloads

This configuration suits environments that need high core counts and redundant power in a single rack unit. The PERC H730P controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60 with a 2 GB cache battery. Buyers requiring solid-state boot drives or more than eight drive bays should evaluate other form factors.

Eight-Bay 2.5-Inch SAS Storage

The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch drive bays populated with 300 GB 10K SAS hard drives connected via 12 Gb/s SAS. The storage controller handles both SAS and SATA devices in pass-through mode. Network connectivity uses a quad-port daughter card with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ interfaces.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 24 DDR4 DIMMs and which slot-population rule do installers most often miss?

Populate all 24 slots in balanced sets of 8 per processor following the R640 DDR4 population guide; the common error is leaving gaps between channels instead of filling every slot in sequence.

Which replaceable components will need attention after extended operation?

The H730P controller battery, the 750 W hot-swap power supplies, and the 300 GB 10 K SAS drives are the field-replaceable units that typically require replacement over the server's service life.

What thermal or power limit appears first when both Xeon Silver 4116 CPUs run at 3.0 GHz turbo continuously?

The dual 750 W platinum power supplies set the sustained-power ceiling; prolonged 3.0 GHz all-core turbo on both 12-core processors can reach that limit before thermal throttling engages.
