Dell PowerEdge R640 36-core server

This Dell PowerEdge R640 rackmount server ships new with two Intel Xeon Gold 6154 processors running at 3.00GHz, delivering 36 total cores for virtualization and data-heavy workloads. It includes 384GB of DDR4 memory and an H730P storage controller to simplify storage management.

Suited for virtualization and database hosts

IT teams running multiple virtual machines, databases or backup services will benefit from the high core count and large memory capacity. Buyers who need GPU acceleration for AI training or rendering should look elsewhere because this unit only provides integrated graphics.

Ten 2.5-inch drive bays

The chassis provides ten 2.5-inch drive bays and eight of those bays support NVMe drives for low-latency storage tiers. Drives are not included so you can select the capacity and media type that match your workload.

Questions about this item

What interface do the eight NVMe-capable 2.5-inch bays use and what does that cap in practice?

The eight NVMe-capable bays connect through PCIe lanes from the Xeon Gold 6154 CPUs, so throughput is limited by the CPU lane count and the H730P controller topology rather than the bay count.

What physical mounting hardware does the R640 1U chassis need to fit in a standard rack?

The chassis requires a Dell PowerEdge R640 sliding rail kit that matches the 1U form factor and the rack's square-hole or threaded-hole spacing.

How is the H730P RAID controller installed and what step is often missed?

The H730P installs in the dedicated internal storage-controller slot; the step often missed is connecting the controller's backup power module cable before closing the chassis.
