4-Bay 3.5" Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack-mounted server system built for data-centre workloads. It arrives with dual Intel Xeon Silver 4216 processors running at 2.1GHz and 128GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. A PERC H740P RAID controller and dual 750W power supplies are installed. No drives are included.

Suits virtualisation and database clusters

This configuration suits teams that need dense compute and large memory capacity in a single rack unit. Buyers who require more than four 3.5-inch drive bays or who need GPU acceleration should consider other platforms. The integrated graphics and 10GbE networking cover basic management and connectivity.

Maximum memory 7.68TB DDR4

The platform supports up to 7.68TB of DDR4 memory across its DIMM slots. This ceiling determines whether the server can grow with future workload demands. Storage expansion is limited to the four 3.5-inch SATA bays served by the PERC H740P controller.
