Dell PowerEdge r640: Specs and Rack Compatibility
The PowerEdge R640 was released in 2017 and stood out for being well suited for a variety of users. Of course, there are many servers that accomplish this same thing, but the R640 was particularly versatile for its 1U form factor.
In 2020, the base model sells on Dell’s website for $1,679 but can be configured into a $10,000+ server with different configurations. Aftermarket prices are still relatively high and listings mostly consist of professional resellers.

Dell PowerEdge R640 dimensions and rack compatibility
The PowerEdge R640 chassis is 1 rack unit in height, has a depth of 28 inches and will fit in standard EIA 19 inch racks.
Here’s a guide on how to mount the rail:
Universal rails that have a height of 1U and support up to 29 inches of depth will be compatible with the PE R640. A benefit of these is the ability to re-use them for different servers or future upgrades. Plus, it’s easy to slide your server in and out of them for maintenance. You can also use our slam latch accessory kit for your Dell servers to be secured in place when using our universal rails. The retaining plate is only compatible with 1U-2U standard width universal rails.
