Dense virtualisation server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack-mount server built for business workloads such as virtualisation, databases and application hosting. Two Intel Xeon Gold 6132 processors deliver 28 cores at 2.60 GHz, supported by 256 GB of DDR4 memory. Ten 2.5-inch bays hold 600 GB 10K SAS drives for operating systems, virtual machines and backups.

Suited for multi-service racks, not GPU farms

This platform fits data centres and server rooms that need high core density and large memory capacity in a single rack unit. It is not designed for workloads that require dedicated GPU acceleration or storage interfaces other than SAS. Buyers needing those capabilities should evaluate other platforms.

28-core Xeon Gold 6132 configuration

The dual-socket Gold 6132 arrangement provides 28 total cores and a 3 TB memory ceiling, making the processor and memory subsystem the primary factor in deciding whether this server matches the workload. The LGA3647 socket and DDR4 architecture define the upgrade path for any future expansion.

Questions about this item

What infrastructure must be in place for the PowerEdge R640 to operate?

A compatible rack with power distribution and network cabling for the X540/I350 ports is required.

Can the existing 600 GB SAS drives remain when adding newer storage?

The 10-bay chassis accepts 2.5-inch SAS drives, so current 600 GB units can stay alongside additional SAS media.

Which LEDs confirm the PowerEdge R640 is running correctly after power-on?

The power LED should be solid green and the Ethernet link LEDs active when the X540/I350 ports have live connections.
