Server Storage Backplane for PowerEdge T640

This Dell EMC backplane delivers sixteen 2.5-inch SFF drive bays to the PowerEdge T640 tower server. It is built for administrators who need dense SAS and SATA storage in a single chassis.

Passive Green PCB with Hot-Swap Support

The green printed circuit board uses a passive design for long-term reliability. It enables hot-swap drive changes when paired with compatible server hardware, reducing downtime during maintenance or expansion.

Replaces Failed or Missing RVJR7 Units

This part restores the original sixteen-bay capacity of a T640 chassis. The upgrade is worthwhile when a backplane has failed or when converting a lower-bay configuration to full SFF density.

Questions about this item

Does the RVJR7 backplane use SAS or SATA signalling, and what throughput does that cap at?

The RVJR7 carries both SAS and SATA signals; practical throughput is limited by the drive and controller you install, not by the backplane itself.

What chassis space and drive bays does the RVJR7 require to mount in a PowerEdge T640?

It occupies the front 16-bay 2.5-inch SFF cage of a PowerEdge T640 and secures with the server's native screw points.

How is the RVJR7 installed, and which step do technicians often miss?

Slide the backplane into the T640 chassis, fasten the retention screws, then connect the SAS/SATA data cables and power cable to the motherboard headers — forgetting the power cable is the common error.
