Rack server for dense compute

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack system fitted with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8260L processors at 2.4 GHz, each providing 24 cores and 35.75 MB cache. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H740P RAID controller. Four 3.5-inch drive bays are available and the unit includes a 10 GbE 562T dual-port adapter and dual 750 W power supplies.

Suited for virtualisation hosts.

This configuration fits environments that need strong multi-threaded performance in a single rack unit, such as hypervisor clusters or database nodes. Buyers who require more than four large-form-factor bays, or who need storage interfaces beyond the SATA connectivity provided by the installed controller, should consider a different chassis.

Four 3.5-inch bays with PERC H740P

The server provides exactly four 3.5-inch drive bays backed by the PERC H740P controller. That bay count and controller combination determines how many drives can be added and which RAID levels are supported, making it the key specification for storage planning.

Questions about this item

Does the server include the drive carriers or caddies needed to install 3.5-inch SATA drives?

The 4LFF chassis provides four 3.5-inch bays; drive carriers are typically included with the chassis but confirm with the seller if they ship with this unit.

Will the PERC H740P RAID controller recognise older SATA drives I already own?

The PERC H740P supports standard SATA drives, so existing SATA HDDs or SSDs should be detected and can be configured in RAID volumes.

How can I verify the two Xeon Platinum 8260L processors and 64 GB DDR4 memory are active after power-on?

Check the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface or the BIOS System Information page; both will show 2 CPUs, 24 cores each at 2.4 GHz, and 64 GB DDR4 installed.
