DELL PowerEdge R640 4LFF Xeon Silver 4214 2.2GHz 12C 128GB DDR4 No Drive

Dell PowerEdge R640 4LFF Server

This Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack-mount server configured with four 3.5-inch drive bays. It ships with a single Intel Xeon Silver 4214 processor running at 2.2 GHz with 12 cores and 128 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. A PERC H740P RAID controller and a dual-port 10 GbE 562T adapter are installed. The unit includes two 750 W power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management.

Suits single-socket deployments needing 3.5-inch

This configuration fits workloads that require a single Xeon Silver 4214 and room for four large-form-factor SATA drives. Buyers who need a second processor for higher thread counts should look elsewhere. Systems requiring drives smaller than 3.5 inches or memory types other than DDR4 are not supported by this chassis. The installed 128 GB capacity leaves headroom below the 7.68 TB maximum.

Single Xeon Silver 4214 at 2.2 GHz with 12 cores

The processor is the primary performance determinant for this server. One CPU is installed in a socket that supports up to two processors. Clock speed is fixed at 2.2 GHz with 16.5 MB cache per chip. Adding a second matching Xeon 4214 would double the core count. Verify that your workload scales within a 12-core single-socket envelope before purchasing.
