Dell R640 SFF dual Xeon Gold 6136 server

This 1U rackmount system ships with two 12-core Intel Xeon Gold 6136 processors at 3.00GHz and 96GB of DDR4 memory. It is aimed at organisations that need dense compute for virtualization, databases or application hosting in a standard rack.

Storage limits with H740P controller

The chassis provides ten 2.5-inch drive bays populated here with three 1.92TB drives and two 960GB SSDs behind a PERC H740P RAID controller. The controller manages the installed mix of capacities but total raw space is fixed by the bay count and current drive sizes.

Check rack depth and power before ordering

Verify that your rack can accommodate the server depth and that your PDU delivers sufficient current for a 60kg unit with dual processors. The system arrives without an operating system so installation media and licences must be prepared in advance.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 1.92TB drives or the 960GB SSDs for my main storage pool?

Use the three 1.92TB drives for bulk capacity and the two 960GB SSDs for the operating system or high-speed cache tier.

What does the 3.00GHz clock on the Xeon Gold 6136 deliver in a live virtualization host?

Each of the 12 cores runs at 3.00GHz, giving consistent per-thread speed for steady VM density and database response.

How does the H740P controller limit the 2.5-inch bays in practice?

The H740P manages all ten 2.5-inch bays through its PCIe link, so total throughput caps at the controller's eight-lane bandwidth.
