DELL PowerEdge R640 4LFF 2x Xeon Silver 4215R 16GB DDR4 No Drive Rack Server

Rack Server with Dual Xeon Silver 4215R

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack-mount server equipped with two Intel Xeon Silver 4215R processors running at 3.2 GHz. It ships with 16 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H740P RAID controller. The 4LFF chassis supports up to four 3.5-inch SATA drives, though no drives are installed. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 with an Enterprise licence, and dual 750 W power supplies provide redundancy.

Suited for Virtualisation Hosts and Database Nodes

This configuration fits organisations that need dense compute and flexible SATA storage in a single rack unit. The dual 8-core CPUs and large memory ceiling support consolidation workloads, while the 10 GbE 562T adapter handles high-throughput networking. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, large local flash capacity or higher single-thread frequencies should evaluate alternative platforms because the chassis offers only integrated graphics and SATA-connected bays.

PERC H740P RAID Controller Determines Storage Layout

The installed PERC H740P controller manages RAID across the four 3.5-inch bays and dictates which drive types and array levels are available. Confirm that its feature set matches your redundancy and performance requirements before purchase, as the server ships without drives and the controller cannot be swapped for a different model without reconfiguration.
