IO South buys used Dell PowerEdge R740, R740xd and R640 servers from businesses across the United States and worldwide. The 14th generation PowerEdge line was the most widely deployed Dell server platform of the last decade, and it is now coming out of production environments by the rack as companies move to 15th and 16th generation systems or to the cloud. We are the buyer, not a broker. We resell PowerEdge servers every week, so we know what a two-processor R740xd with its bays full is worth this week and can make a real offer quickly.
The PowerEdge R740 is the 2U dual-socket general purpose server of the 14th generation: two Intel Xeon Scalable processors (first generation 5100, 6100 and 8100 series, or second generation 5200, 6200 and 8200 series), 24 memory slots, 8 or 16 front drive bays in 2.5 or 3.5 inch form factors, PERC storage controllers, and room for GPUs and PCIe expansion. It was sold into virtualization, database and general workloads everywhere, which means a deep pool of buyers on the resale side. Configuration drives the offer: processor generation and core count, memory total, backplane type and controller.
The R740xd is the storage-dense R740: up to 24 front 2.5 inch bays or 12 front 3.5 inch bays, plus optional mid-bay and rear drive bays, and NVMe backplane options. It served as a software-defined storage node, a backup target and a hyperconverged host. The xd resells best with its backplane and caddies intact, and often with the drives, which we wipe or destroy before resale or return to you. If you are pulling drives for your own destruction process, keep the caddies in the bays.
The R640 is the 1U version of the same platform: two Xeon Scalable processors, 24 memory slots, 8 or 10 front 2.5 inch bays with NVMe options, in a short-depth chassis built for dense racks. It was the standard compute node in a lot of clusters, so it reaches us in quantity, and it resells in quantity. Tell us the processor models and the memory total per node, because a uniform cluster of identical R640s is easier to place than a mixed lot.
The R740 and R640 have siblings that often sit in the same rack: the R440 and R540 entry servers, the four-socket R840 and R940, the T440 and T640 towers, and the AMD-based R6415, R7415 and R7425. Put them all on one list. For 15th generation R750 and R650 systems see sell used Dell PowerEdge R750 servers, and for the full line see sell Dell PowerEdge servers.
Data centers, colocation facilities, hospitals, schools, government offices and businesses that are moving to newer PowerEdge generations or to the cloud. IO South has offices in Marietta, Georgia and Cincinnati, Ohio, and buys from the United States and worldwide. A refresh is a project, not a pickup: we plan the sequence, label and palletize on site, arrange freight, and keep a record of what left the building.
IO South is an established enterprise IT hardware company that buys and resells Dell PowerEdge, HPE ProLiant and Supermicro servers, data center GPUs and networking equipment every day. PowerEdge systems move through our Marietta, Georgia and Cincinnati, Ohio facilities constantly, which is why we can tell you what an R740xd or a rack of R640s is worth this week and stand behind the number. One offer, one pickup, drives handled, freight paid.

All three are Dell 14th generation (14G) dual-socket servers on Intel Xeon Scalable first and second generation processors. The R740 is the 2U general purpose server, the R740xd is the 2U storage-dense version with up to 24 front drive bays plus mid and rear bays, and the R640 is the 1U version. All three resell steadily. The xd with its drive bays full is often the strongest of the three.
Both. One R640 from a branch office is a normal purchase. So is a hundred-server virtualization cluster. Quantity affects the offer, not whether we make one.
Yes, more than anything else. Second generation Xeon Scalable processors (the 5200, 6200 and 8200 series) with high core counts, large memory totals, NVMe backplanes, the PERC H740P or H750 controller and 25 gigabit network daughter cards all raise the offer. Tell us the processor models, total memory, drive bays and controller.
Drives are wiped or destroyed before anything is resold, or returned to you if your policy requires it. If you have already pulled the drives, tell us the servers ship diskless and the offer reflects that. Caddies left in the bays are worth keeping with the server.
Yes. Reset iDRAC to factory defaults and clear any enterprise license binding you do not want to transfer, so the systems can be tested on arrival. If that is not possible before pickup, tell us and we handle it on receipt.
Yes. Tell us the site and whether the servers are still racked and powered. We coordinate the pickup with the facility, send a rep to palletize and wrap, and arrange the freight.
Yes. IO South buys from businesses across the United States and from data centers worldwide. Send the location with your list and we include freight and import handling in the plan.
Yes. IO South sells tested used and new PowerEdge systems. Browse the Dell PowerEdge category and the Dell rack servers for current stock, or ask by email for a configuration.
