These cables supply PCIe connectivity for NVME drives on the R640 10 Bay server. They enable NVME on drive bays 2 – 5. One end connects to the backplane on ports A1/B1. The other end terminates at the rear of the chassis on ports M1/M2.

R640 High Performance Fan 0KG52T
High performance cooling fan for the Dell PowerEdge R640. These are necessary for high TDP processors and NVME configurations. 14 gen servers will really ramp up the fans especially for certain processors that run hot. Installing high performance fans will reduce the overall noise of the server. Should also be paired with the following high performance heatsinks.

R640 Rear Plastic Cover MX0FXBFL
This is a weird little rear plastic cover for the Dell PowerEdge R640. At least, that’s my best guess. What it covers I have no idea and we have speculated that it could be related to airflow. It does not effect the function of the server. If anything it provides a more aesthetic value than function.
