Dell PowerEdge R640 4LFF Server

This 1U rack server ships with a single Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processor running at 2.1GHz with 24 cores and 33 MB cache. It includes 64GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H740P RAID controller. The chassis supports up to four 3.5-inch SATA drive bays and dual 750W power supplies. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise.

Suits virtualisation hosts needing dense compute

The single-socket configuration leaves room for a second CPU when workloads grow. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, pre-installed drives, or more than four drive bays should look at alternative chassis options. The integrated graphics and 10GbE 562T adapter cover basic display and network needs without extra cards.

Deciding specification: four 3.5-inch drive bays

This bay count and interface dictate how many mechanical or SATA solid-state drives can be installed internally. The PERC H740P controller manages RAID across those bays. If a project requires more than four drives or a different drive protocol, this chassis will not fit the requirement.

Questions about this item

How do I install the PERC H740P RAID controller in the PowerEdge R640?

Install the PERC H740P controller in the dedicated internal storage slot. The step often missed is connecting the power cables to both 750 W supplies before closing the chassis.

What maintenance will the PERC H740P controller and 750 W power supplies need?

The PERC H740P firmware is updated to the latest stable version before shipment. Power supplies are hot-plug; replace a failed unit without shutting down the R640.

What limit appears first when the Xeon Platinum 8160 runs sustained loads?

The 24-core 2.1 GHz Platinum 8160 will hit its thermal envelope before the 64 GB DDR4 or 7.68 TB memory ceiling becomes a bottleneck.
