Dell PowerEdge R640 2× Xeon Gold 6136 3.00GHz

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server built for business workloads such as virtualization, databases, file storage, backups and application hosting. Two Intel Xeon Gold 6136 processors running at 3.00GHz with 12 cores each provide the compute foundation. 192GB of DDR4 memory supports multiple services and virtual machines simultaneously.

192GB DDR4 with 3TB max and 5× 512GB SSD

This configuration suits organisations that need dense compute and memory for virtualised environments or database workloads in a compact rack footprint. Buyers who need more than ten 2.5-inch drive bays or who require a discrete GPU for accelerated computing should consider alternative platforms. The integrated graphics and included H740P storage controller cover standard management and array tasks.

10-bay 2.5-inch chassis with H740P controller

The server provides ten 2.5-inch expansion bays, populated with five 512GB SSDs and managed by the H740P storage controller. This bay count and controller combination determines how many drives can be added and which RAID levels are available for future expansion. Weight is 60 units as supplied.

Questions about this item

Does this server need rails or a shelf to mount in a standard 19-inch rack?

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a rackmount server designed for 19-inch cabinets. You will need compatible sliding rails or a fixed shelf to secure the 60 kg chassis in your rack.

Can the 10 x 2.5-inch drive bays accept the 3.5-inch HDDs I already own?

The expansion bays are sized for 2.5-inch drives only. Your existing 3.5-inch HDDs will not fit; you would need 2.5-inch SSDs or HDDs to populate the five empty bays.

Which front-panel LEDs confirm the Xeon Gold 6136 CPUs and 192GB DDR4 are operating normally?

The power LED shows system-on status. The two Ethernet LEDs indicate network link and activity. The USB LED lights when a connected device is active, confirming the platform has completed POST.
