1U rack server with 4 x 3.5" bays

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server fitted with a single Xeon Silver 4214R processor running at 2.4 GHz with 12 cores and 128 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. A PERC H740P RAID controller manages up to four 3.5-inch SATA drive bays. The system ships without drives and includes an iDRAC9 Enterprise licence for remote management.

Suits dense storage workloads in a 1U form factor

This configuration suits buyers who need a compact rack server with four large-form-factor bays and hardware RAID for SATA drives. It is not for buyers who require 2.5-inch drive bays, more than four drive slots, a second processor installed, or a GPU accelerator for compute tasks.

Four 3.5-inch SATA bays with PERC H740P RAID

The single specification that decides fit is the four-bay 3.5-inch SATA backplane paired with the PERC H740P controller. If the deployment needs a different bay count, a different drive interface, or no hardware RAID, this chassis will not match the requirement.

Questions about this item

How much rack depth is required for the 36-inch PowerEdge R640?

The chassis is 36 inches deep, so the rack must provide at least that much usable depth plus cable clearance at the rear.

What is the correct sequence for seating the PERC H740P controller and its drive cables?

Install the controller in the dedicated slot first, then connect the SATA cables to the four 3.5-inch backplane ports before powering on.

When should the 750 W power supplies and iDRAC9 battery be replaced?

Replace a power supply if its status LED turns amber, and swap the iDRAC9 battery when the management interface reports low voltage.
