Dell PowerEdge R640 8-bay server
The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server system built for business workloads such as virtualization, databases, file storage and application hosting. It arrives new and fully populated with two processors, memory, storage and a RAID controller.
Suits virtualization and database clusters.
This configuration suits teams running multiple virtual machines, heavy database instances or mixed application workloads that benefit from 28 total cores and 256GB of DDR4 memory. Buyers who need dedicated GPU acceleration or more than eight internal drive bays should look at a different platform.
8x 2.5-inch SATA SSD bays with H730P controller
The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch bays filled with new 1TB SATA SSDs and includes an H730P storage controller to manage the array. This bay count and controller combination determines how much internal storage you can install and how it is presented to the operating system.

Questions about this item
What rack hardware is needed to mount this 1U server?
The unit is a 1U rackmount chassis; Dell ReadyRails sliding rails or compatible static rails are required for installation in a standard four-post rack.
Will the H730P controller recognise my existing 2.5-inch SATA drives?
Yes, the H730P supports 2.5-inch SATA SSDs and HDDs, so drives you already own can be added to the eight drive bays.
How can I confirm the dual Xeon Gold 6132 CPUs and 256 GB DDR4 are detected after first boot?
Open the BIOS or iDRAC System Information page; it will show two processors, 28 total cores, and 256 GB of DDR4 memory.
