PowerEdge R640 4-bay 3.5-inch server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server system built for data-centre workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 5218R processors running at 2.1 GHz and 512 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis provides four 3.5-inch drive bays and includes a PERC H740P RAID controller.

Suited for memory-heavy virtualisation.

This configuration suits teams running large virtual-machine clusters, in-memory databases or container platforms that benefit from 40 cores and half a terabyte of RAM. Buyers who need dedicated GPU acceleration for AI training or rendering should look elsewhere because the system only provides integrated graphics.

PERC H740P RAID controller decides drive topology

The installed PERC H740P controller manages the four 3.5-inch bays and defines the RAID levels and performance available to the operating system. If your deployment requires a different controller feature set or external array connectivity, this server will not match that requirement.

Questions about this item

Will the R640's four 3.5-inch bays accept the SATA drives I already own?

Yes, the chassis provides four 3.5-inch bays wired for SATA, so existing SATA drives fit directly.

How can I confirm the dual 5218R CPUs and 512 GB DDR4 are recognised after first boot?

Open the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface or BIOS; both will show two Xeon Gold 5218R processors at 2.1 GHz and 512 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory.

Does the box include drive caddies or rails, or must I order them separately?

The unit ships with two 750 W power supplies, a PERC H740P controller and a 10 GbE 562T adapter; drive caddies and rail kit are not included and must be sourced separately.
