Dual-socket Xeon Bronze server for entry-scale
The Dell PowerEdge R640 delivers two Intel Xeon Bronze 3104 processors at 1.7 GHz with six cores each and 8.25 MB cache per CPU. Sixty-four gigabytes of DDR4 ECC registered memory are installed across the system. A PERC H740P RAID controller manages up to four 3.5-inch SATA drive bays, and an integrated 10 GbE dual-port 562T adapter handles network traffic.
Replaces single-socket or older dual-socket towers
Moving from a single-processor platform doubles the thread count and memory-channel bandwidth without changing rack footprint. The jump is worth it when applications need more concurrent threads than a six-core chip provides but do not yet justify higher-frequency Silver or Gold SKUs. The H740P controller also upgrades basic software RAID to hardware RAID with cache-backed write performance.
Fits standard 1U racks with redundant 750 W supplies
Two R720 750 W power supplies share the load and keep the system running if one unit fails. iDRAC9 Enterprise gives remote console, virtual media and full lifecycle management over a dedicated management port. The four large-form-factor bays free internal space for high-capacity SATA drives, while the half-height PCIe slots remain open for additional NICs or HBAs.

Questions about this item
What rack depth and width does the 36 x 24 x 10 inch chassis require?
The chassis measures 36 inches deep, 24 inches wide and 10 inches high, so it fits a standard rack with at least 36 inches of usable depth and 24 inches of clear width.
How are the two Xeon Bronze 3104 processors and 64GB DDR4 memory installed, and what step is often missed?
Both processors are factory-installed in the two sockets; the 64GB DDR4 ECC registered memory is pre-populated, and the step often missed is confirming the iDRAC9 Enterprise licence is activated after first boot.
Which drive bays and controller will need drives or replacement later?
The server has four 3.5-inch SATA bays wired to the PERC H740P RAID controller; drives are not installed, so you will need to add compatible SATA drives and monitor the controller battery or capacitor over time.
