Dual Xeon Bronze 3106 1U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Bronze 3106 processors running at 1.7GHz. It ships with 128GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots and includes a Perc H730 storage controller. Redundant hot-swap power supplies are fitted as standard.

Virtualisation and database hosts

This configuration suits teams running virtual machines, databases or file storage where dual-socket compute and 128GB of RAM are required. Buyers needing GPU acceleration or more than 128GB of memory should look at a different platform because the installed CPUs limit the maximum to 128GB.

128GB DDR4 ceiling and eight drive bays

The board supports 128GB total across 24 slots using DDR4 modules up to 2666MT/s, so the installed 128GB already reaches the processor limit. Eight 2.5-inch hot-plug bays accept SAS or SATA drives with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60 handled by the H730 controller.

Questions about this item

What rack space and power feeds must I provide for this 1U server?

The chassis occupies 1U of rack height and requires two 750 W redundant power supplies connected to separate circuits.

Can I keep my existing 2.5" SAS or SATA drives and use them with the H730 controller?

Yes, the eight hot-plug bays accept 2.5" SAS or SATA drives and the H730 supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with those drives.

How do I confirm the dual Xeon Bronze 3106 CPUs and 128 GB DDR4 are recognised after installation?

Check the iDRAC9 interface or the BIOS System Information screen; both will show two Xeon Bronze 3106 processors and 128 GB of DDR4 memory.
