1U Rack Server for Dense Compute

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack-mount server system built for dense compute workloads. It ships with a single Intel Xeon Silver 4214 processor running at 2.2GHz and 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis supports up to four 3.5-inch drive bays and includes a PERC H740P RAID controller. It is suited for virtualization clusters and database nodes needing high memory capacity.

Single Xeon Silver 4214 Limits Thread Count

The installed processor provides twelve cores and sixteen threads with a 16.5MB cache. Maximum memory capacity reaches 7.68TB when both processor sockets are populated. Buyers who need more than twelve cores per socket or dual-processor performance from day one should verify the single-CPU configuration meets their licensing and throughput requirements before purchasing.

Dual 750W Supplies Cool 1U Chassis

Two 750-watt power supplies deliver redundant power for the 1U form factor. Integrated graphics and the 10GbE 562T adapter add minimal thermal load. The iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management module operates independently of the host power state. Builders who require GPU acceleration or additional PCIe cards must confirm airflow and power headroom within the 36 x 24 x 10 inch enclosure.

Questions about this item

What does the 2.2 GHz Xeon Silver 4214 with 12 cores deliver in this single-socket R640?

The server runs one Xeon Silver 4214 at 2.2 GHz with 12 cores and 16.5 MB cache, giving a 12-thread baseline for virtualization or database workloads; a second socket can be added later to double that capacity.

How does the PERC H740P controller limit the four 3.5-inch SATA bays?

The H740P presents the four 3.5-inch bays over SATA with hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60; maximum throughput is bound by the SATA link speed of each installed drive.

What clearance and mounting hardware does the 36 x 24 x 10 inch, 40 lb chassis require?

The 1U rack-mount chassis needs a standard four-post rack with at least 24 inches of usable depth; a rail kit is available on request to secure the 40 lb unit.
