Dell PowerEdge FC640 S140 Server Sled

Identification and quote request

Dell identifies the PowerEdge FC640 as a half-width modular compute sled for the FX2 chassis and lists S140 under Software RAID. The FC640 is not a multi-blade enclosure.

Use this identification when requesting a quote; ask for evidence tied to the actual unit being offered before approving a purchase.

What to match before ordering

• Request the service tag, sled-label photos and hardware inventory. Specify whether you need a bare sled assembly or a populated server.
• Record the target FX2 enclosure configuration and ask for the supported firmware and I/O combination for the quoted sled.
• For an S140 request, specify drive types, backplane, intended operating system and RAID requirement. Ask the seller to document the installed storage configuration.
• Itemize CPUs, memory, drive carriers, network adapters and any storage controller; confirm whether the enclosure is excluded from the quote.

Acceptance criteria to put in your RFQ

• Request a boot report and iDRAC hardware/health inventory tied to the service tag.
• Ask for testing in the intended enclosure configuration and storage-detection results for the proposed drive and controller setup.
• Agree on completeness, connector condition, firmware requirements and the return remedy before ordering.

Request pricing and availability

Include the required quantity, acceptable condition, delivery destination and need-by date in your RFQ. Ask for a written price, current availability, included items, test evidence, warranty or return terms, and a confirmed dispatch estimate before ordering.
