Dell PowerEdge R640 SFF Server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 SFF is a 1U rackmount server built for business workloads such as virtualization, databases and application hosting. Two Intel Xeon Gold 6146 processors running at 3.20 GHz provide the compute base. The system ships with 192 GB of DDR4 memory and six 512 GB SSDs managed by an H740P storage controller.

Suits virtualization hosts needing dense 2.5-inch

Ten 2.5-inch drive bays give room for the installed SSDs and future expansion. Buyers who require larger 3.5-inch drives or GPU acceleration should look at a different chassis. The integrated graphics and lack of an operating system also mean this unit is not a turnkey workstation.

Dual Xeon Gold 6146 at 3.20 GHz

The pair of 12-core Gold 6146 CPUs sets the performance ceiling for every workload on this server. If your licences or applications demand higher single-thread frequency or more total cores, this configuration will not meet that requirement.

Questions about this item

Do I need to provide my own DDR4 memory modules to reach the 3TB maximum capacity?

The system ships with 192GB of DDR4 installed across its DIMM slots. To reach the 3TB maximum you would need to add compatible DDR4 modules, but the server is fully operational with the factory memory.

Will the 10-bay 2.5-inch chassis accept the 3.5-inch drives from my previous server?

The expansion bays are sized for 2.5-inch drives only, so 3.5-inch drives will not fit. You would need 2.5-inch SSDs or HDDs, or an appropriate adapter tray if one is available for this chassis.

How can I verify that the H740P controller has built the RAID array correctly after first boot?

During POST the H740P BIOS displays the configured virtual disks and their status. You can also open the iDRAC web interface or the controller’s management utility to confirm the array is optimal and all six 512GB SSDs are online.
