Purpose-built 1U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack-mounted server system equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 6248 processors, each delivering 20 cores at 2.50 GHz with a 3.20 GHz turbo frequency, giving 40 cores total. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 memory and ten 1.92 TB SATA SSDs managed by an H740P RAID controller, plus a front bezel for a complete rack-ready unit. Windows Server 2019 Standard is pre-installed.

Virtualisation and database workloads

This configuration suits IT teams running virtualisation clusters, database instances, file storage or application hosting where the 40-core CPU complex and 256 GB of DDR4 provide ample headroom for multiple simultaneous workloads. The ten-drive SATA SSD array offers high-capacity, redundant storage for virtual machines, backups and business data. Organisations needing GPU compute, more than two processor sockets or storage interfaces other than SATA should evaluate alternative platforms.

H740P RAID controller with ten SATA SSDs

The integrated H740P storage controller manages all ten 1.92 TB SATA SSDs, providing hardware RAID levels and cache-backed performance for the entire storage subsystem. This single component determines whether the server can deliver the IOPS and data protection your workloads require. Buyers must verify that the H740P feature set matches their RAID and caching needs before deployment.

Questions about this item

What rack space does the R640 10-bay 2.5-inch chassis require?

The server is a 1U rack-mount system with a 10-bay 2.5-inch front drive cage, so it occupies a single rack unit in a standard 19-inch cabinet.

How is the H740P RAID controller installed in the R640, and what step is commonly missed?

The H740P seats in the dedicated internal storage-controller slot; the step often missed is attaching the controller's cable to the drive backplane before closing the chassis.

What drive replacements will the 10-bay R640 need later?

The chassis holds ten 2.5-inch SATA SSDs; any failed drive must be replaced with a 2.5-inch SATA SSD of equal or greater capacity.
