Frequently asked questions

What rail and cable management kit is compatible with the R330 server?

For the R330 server, you can use the ReadyRails 1U Static Rails (SKU: 770-BBIC) or the ReadyRails Sliding Rails without a cable management arm (SKU: 770-BBJS). Additionally, a 1U Cable Management Arm (SKU: 770-BBIE) is available for cable organization. [community thread]

Can I use both SAS and NVMe drives in an R640 server configuration?

The R640 supports a mixed configuration, but the last four slots are designated solely for NVMe drives, meaning SAS drives cannot be installed there. Additionally, there is no hardware NVMe RAID available for this server generation. [community thread]

Can I set up NVMe hardware RAID on an R640 server?

The R640 server only supports NVMe RAID through the embedded S140 controller, which operates as a software RAID. For hardware RAID, you would need to use a 15th Gen server with an H755n controller, as the R640 does not support this feature. [community thread]

How can I bypass the PERC H730 on a Dell R640 server?

To bypass the PERC H730 on a Dell R640, you may need to use cable part number 9G3T5. However, it's advisable to consult with sales for confirmation, as additional components like the backplane may also need to be changed. [community thread]

What do the motherboard LED codes indicate for a PowerEdge R640 that won't start?

If the PowerEdge R640 fails to power on and the iDRAC does not initialize, the LED patterns can help diagnose the issue. A flea power drain and clearing the NVRAM may resolve the problem; if not, test with only the minimum components required for POST to identify any faulty parts. [community thread]
