Frequently Asked Questions
What CPU does this R640 ship with, and what workloads does it target?
It ships with a single Intel Xeon Gold 6136 — a twelve-core, twenty-four-thread processor running at 3.0GHz base with up to 3.7GHz Turbo. The Gold 6136 is a Skylake-SP die with a 24.75MB L3 cache and 10.4 GT/s UPI interconnect, making it well-suited for parallelized compute tasks: virtualization hosts, containerized workloads, CI/CD pipelines, and database servers.
Is 192GB of RAM the maximum this platform supports, or can it be expanded?
The R640 supports up to 1.5TB of DDR4 across 24 DIMM slots (12 per processor socket). This unit ships with 192GB, which leaves significant expansion headroom. Note that the Gold 6136 supports DDR4-2666 ECC RDIMM/LRDIMM — matching the right DIMM type and speed is critical to avoid downclocking.
What RAID controller does this unit include?
It includes the PERC H730 controller with 1GB non-volatile cache, supporting RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60. The H730 supports 12Gb/s SAS and 6Gb/s SATA drives, and its NV cache protects write-back operations during unexpected power loss.
Does this server come with an operating system?
No operating system is included with this renewed unit. Dell supports Windows Server, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, VMware ESXi, and Ubuntu Server on this platform.
What does "Renewed" mean for a server of this class?
This unit has been refurbished and tested to operational standards, but it is not new hardware. Components may show wear consistent with prior datacenter use. Verify iDRAC lifecycle logs after receipt to understand prior configuration and any replaced components.
