Virtualisation-ready Xeon Gold 6146 server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server fitted with two Intel Xeon Gold 6146 processors running at 3.20GHz, each providing 12 cores. It ships with 192GB of DDR4 memory and a PERC H740P storage controller. The system is aimed at businesses running virtualisation, databases, file storage, backup or application-hosting workloads.

192GB DDR4 and mixed SSD capacity

Memory can be expanded to 3TB, giving headroom for additional virtual machines or larger in-memory datasets. The current configuration installs three 1.92TB drives and two 960GB solid-state drives across ten 2.5-inch bays, offering a blend of capacity and speed for operating systems, applications and data. When all bays are populated, further internal storage expansion requires external enclosures.

Ten-bay front access with H740P controller

The chassis provides ten hot-swap 2.5-inch drive bays at the front, allowing drive changes without shutting down. The H740P hardware RAID controller simplifies array creation and ongoing management. Front-panel LEDs show power, Ethernet and USB status at a glance. The unit weighs 60 and fits standard 19-inch racks.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.5-inch drive bays on the R640 accept the 1.92TB and 960GB SSDs I already own?

The server has ten 2.5-inch bays and ships with three 1.92TB and two 960GB SSDs installed, so your existing 2.5-inch drives will fit the same slots.

How can I verify the dual Xeon Gold 6146 processors and 192GB of DDR4 are recognised after installation?

Check the BIOS or iDRAC interface during POST; it will show two 12-core CPUs at 3.20GHz and 192GB of DDR4 memory.

Which components come in the box and what must I source separately?

The system includes the R640 chassis, dual Xeon Gold 6146 CPUs, 192GB DDR4, five SSDs and the H740P controller; an operating system and rail kit are not supplied.
