Purpose-built rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server system configured with two Intel Xeon Gold 6136 processors running at 3.00GHz each, providing twelve cores per socket. It ships with 48GB of DDR4 memory and six 512GB solid-state drives managed by an H740P storage controller. A front bezel is included for a complete rack-ready package.

Fit for virtualization and databases

This configuration suits IT teams deploying virtualization clusters, database instances, or mixed application workloads that benefit from dual-socket compute and all-flash storage in a dense form factor. Buyers who need more than ten 2.5-inch drive bays or who require discrete GPU acceleration should evaluate alternative platforms that offer those capabilities.

Storage controller determines expandability

The included H740P RAID controller governs how the ten 2.5-inch bays can be configured and which drive types are supported, making it the key specification when planning capacity upgrades or migration scenarios.

Questions about this item

How many 2.5-inch drive bays does the R640 chassis provide for the 6x 512GB SSDs?

The R640 SFF chassis includes 10 bays for 2.5-inch drives, so the six installed SSDs occupy six of those slots and four bays remain open for expansion.

What is the correct order for seating the two Xeon Gold 6136 processors and the 48GB of DDR4 memory during initial build?

Install both CPUs into their sockets first, then populate the DDR4 DIMM slots following the per-processor channel layout shown on the system board label.

Which component on the H740P controller requires periodic replacement to protect the RAID cache?

The H740P uses a replaceable battery backup unit for its write cache; plan to swap that module every few years to avoid data-loss risk during power loss.
