Dell PowerEdge R640 4LFF Server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack-mount server built for dense compute workloads. It ships with a single Intel Xeon Platinum 5217 processor running at 3 GHz with 8 cores and 11 MB cache. Installed memory totals 128 GB of DDR4 ECC Registered RAM. The chassis supports up to four 3.5-inch SATA drive bays and includes a PERC H740P RAID controller.

Suits virtualisation hosts needing max processors

This configuration suits buyers who need a second CPU socket for future expansion, because the board supports a maximum of two processors. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 with an Enterprise licence, and a 10 GbE two-port 562T adapter is fitted. Buyers who want installed storage should look elsewhere, because no drives are included in this build.

Four 3.5-inch SATA bays with PERC H740P

The single specification that decides fit is the drive bay count and controller: four 3.5-inch SATA bays backed by a PERC H740P RAID controller. Maximum memory capacity reaches 7.68 TB across the DDR4 slots. Power is supplied by two 750 W units, and the unit measures 36 x 24 x 10 in with a weight of 40.

Questions about this item

What drive bays does the R640 4LFF chassis provide for my own 3.5" SATA drives?

The chassis includes four 3.5" bays that accept SATA drives; no drives are installed so you supply them.

Can the single Xeon Platinum 5217 at 3 GHz share the PERC H740P controller with a second processor later?

Yes, the board supports up to two processors and the H740P serves both when the second CPU is added.

How do I confirm the 128 GB DDR4 ECC memory and iDRAC9 Enterprise licence are active after first boot?

Check the BIOS memory summary for 128 GB DDR4 ECC and open the iDRAC web interface to see the Enterprise licence status.
