DELL PowerEdge R640 4LFF Xeon Bronze 3104 256GB DDR4 rack server

Dell PowerEdge R640 4LFF Server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack-mount server system built around a single Intel Xeon Bronze 3104 processor running at 1.7 GHz with six cores and 8.25 MB cache. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across sixteen 16 GB modules and includes a Dell PERC H740P RAID controller. The chassis provides four 3.5-inch drive bays with SATA interface; no drives are installed. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 with an Enterprise licence and dual 750 W power supplies are fitted.

Suited for memory-heavy workloads

This configuration suits buyers who need a high memory footprint in a compact 1U form factor and who plan to populate the four 3.5-inch bays with SATA drives. It is not for buyers who need a second processor installed immediately, who require more than four drive bays, or who depend on a GPU for compute tasks.

Four 3.5-inch SATA drive bays with PERC H740P

The single specification that decides fit is the storage subsystem: four 3.5-inch hot-plug bays wired to a Dell PERC H740P RAID controller over SATA. If your deployment needs more bays, a different drive interface, or a controller without hardware RAID, this chassis will not meet the requirement.
