Dual Xeon Gold 6154 36-Core Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server system equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 6154 processors running at 3.0GHz. Together they provide 36 total cores for parallel workloads. The chassis holds 512GB of DDR4 memory and eight 2.5-inch drive bays populated with 1.2TB SAS hard drives. An H730P storage controller manages the array.

Suits virtualization and database hosts.

This configuration targets business workloads such as virtualization, databases, file storage, backups and application hosting. The integrated graphics and lack of discrete GPU support make it unsuitable for GPU-accelerated compute, rendering or AI training. Buyers needing PCIe add-in cards beyond the storage controller should verify slot availability separately.

512GB DDR4 installed with 3TB maximum capacity

The system ships with 512GB of DDR4 memory installed across the two processors. The platform supports up to 3TB of DDR4 when fully populated, allowing significant headroom for memory-intensive applications. Memory type is fixed to DDR4; other generations are not compatible.

Questions about this item

Will the 2x Xeon Gold 6154 CPUs and 512GB DDR4 work with my existing LGA2066 motherboard and DDR4 DIMMs?

This server uses two LGA2066 sockets and DDR4 memory up to 3TB; the installed 512GB DDR4 matches that platform, but motherboard and DIMM compatibility depends on your specific board.

How can I verify the H730P controller and 8x 1.2TB SAS drives are healthy after installation?

The H730P BIOS utility and iDRAC show controller status, drive state, and array health; the front LEDs indicate power, network, and drive activity for quick visual checks.

What ships with the R640 and what must I source separately?

The unit includes 2x Xeon Gold 6154, 512GB DDR4, H730P, CX422A, 8x 1.2TB SAS drives in 8x 2.5" bays, and standard accessories; operating system and rails are not included.
