DELL PowerEdge R640 4-bay server
The DELL PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack-mount server system built for virtualisation, database and general compute workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 5120 processors running at 2.2GHz, each providing 14 cores. The platform includes 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H740P RAID controller. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 with an Enterprise licence.
Suited for dense compute and virtualisation
This configuration suits organisations that need high core density and large memory capacity in a single rack unit. The four 3.5-inch drive bays and dual 750W power supplies support redundant storage and power. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, more than four drive bays, or a different processor generation should evaluate other platforms.
Memory scales to 7.68TB with four bays
The installed 256GB DDR4 provides immediate headroom for multiple virtual machines or in-memory databases, and the architecture supports up to 7.68TB of total memory. Storage capacity depends on the SATA drives chosen for the four 3.5-inch bays; the PERC H740P controller manages RAID levels for redundancy or performance. Network connectivity includes a dual-port 10GbE 562T adapter.

Questions about this item
What drive bays and controller do I need to add storage to the 4x3.5" chassis?
The chassis has four 3.5-inch bays wired to the PERC H740P RAID controller with SATA interface; populate the bays with compatible drives and configure arrays in the controller BIOS.
Will the dual Xeon Gold 5120 processors at 2.2 GHz work with my existing DDR4 registered ECC modules?
Yes, the system accepts DDR4 registered ECC memory up to 7.68 TB total; the installed 256 GB uses the same technology so additional modules of matching type will operate together.
How can I confirm the PERC H740P RAID controller and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management are active after setup?
During POST the H740P initialisation screen appears and the iDRAC9 network status LED lights; both interfaces are then reachable via their dedicated IP addresses for configuration and monitoring.
