DELL PowerEdge R640 4LFF 2x Xeon Gold 6226R 256GB DDR4 No Drive

Dell PowerEdge R640 4LFF Server

This Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server built for dense compute workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6226R processors running at 2.9 GHz and 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis provides four 3.5-inch drive bays and includes a PERC H740P RAID controller. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 with an Enterprise license.

Suits virtualisation hosts and database nodes

The dual 16-core CPUs and large memory capacity fit virtualisation clusters, in-memory databases and high-thread-count applications. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or more than four 3.5-inch drive bays should look at a different platform. The integrated graphics and 10 GbE 562T adapter cover basic display and network needs without extra cards.

Four 3.5-inch bays with PERC H740P RAID

The 4LFF chassis limits internal storage to four 3.5-inch SATA drives managed by the PERC H740P controller. This decides whether the server can hold the required data set or if a 2.5-inch bay configuration or external array is necessary. No drives are installed, so the buyer selects capacity and drive type to match the workload.
