2U 4-bay 2× Xeon Gold 5218 768GB

This Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon Gold 5218 processors at 2.3GHz and 768GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. Four 3.5-inch drive bays and a PERC H740P RAID controller handle internal storage. Dual 750W supplies and an iDRAC9 Enterprise licence are included.

Suited for dense virtualisation or database nodes

Organisations that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a 2U form factor will benefit from the 16 cores per processor and 768GB RAM. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, more than four drive bays, or 10GbE beyond the installed 562T adapter should consider other platforms.

Four 3.5-inch SATA bays with PERC H740P

The chassis provides exactly four hot-plug 3.5-inch bays connected to the PERC H740P controller. No drives are installed, so the buyer must supply compatible SATA HDDs or SSDs. The RAID controller and bay count are the decisive constraints for storage planning.
