Dell PowerEdge R640 4LFF server
The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack-mount server populated with two Intel Xeon Gold 5218 processors running at 2.3GHz and 512GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It uses a PERC H740P RAID controller and includes a 10GbE two-port 562T network adapter. The chassis provides four 3.5-inch drive bays with a SATA interface and ships without any drives installed.
Suited for dense virtualisation
This configuration fits buyers who need a high core count and large memory footprint in a single rack unit with integrated 10GbE connectivity. It is not for buyers who want more storage bays than the four 3.5-inch slots provided, nor for those who require a GPU for compute acceleration because only integrated graphics are present.
Key specification: 512GB DDR4 ECC registered memory
The installed 512GB DDR4 ECC registered memory determines whether this server matches the capacity needs of the target workload. The board supports a maximum of 7.68TB, so buyers planning larger datasets can expand later, but the shipping configuration is fixed at 512GB.

Questions about this item
What comes in the box and what must be purchased separately?
The server ships with two Xeon Gold 5218 processors, 512 GB DDR4 ECC memory, a PERC H740P RAID controller, a dual-port 10 GbE 562T adapter, two 750 W power supplies and rails on request. No 3.5" drives are included; they must be bought separately.
Which drive-bay version should I choose for maximum 3.5" capacity?
The 4LFF chassis provides four 3.5" bays, the highest count available on the R640 platform. Select this version when you need the most high-capacity SATA drives in a 1U form factor.
What does the 512 GB DDR4 figure mean once the server is running?
All 512 GB are installed across the 24 DIMM slots as ECC Registered modules, leaving headroom to expand up to 7.68 TB using DDR4 when workloads grow.
