Purpose-built virtualization server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server designed for business workloads such as virtualization, databases, file storage and application hosting. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6132 processors running at 2.60GHz, providing 28 cores in total. 512GB of DDR4 memory is installed to support multiple virtual machines and data-intensive applications simultaneously.

Storage interface limits

Ten front-accessible 2.5-inch drive bays provide the physical connection points for storage. The included H730P controller manages the array, but drives are not supplied so capacity and media type must be selected separately. The server supports a maximum of two processors, which are already populated in this configuration.

Memory capacity ceiling

Installed memory is 512GB of DDR4, while the platform maximum reaches 3TB. This gap defines the headroom available for future expansion without replacing existing modules. Buyers who need more than 3GB of total system memory cannot use this chassis.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 10-bay or 28-core configuration for virtualization?

The server has 10 drive bays and 28 total cores from two Xeon Gold 6132 processors. Both specs are fixed; you do not select between them.

What does 2.60GHz mean once the CPUs are under load in a rack?

Each of the 22 cores per processor runs at a base 2.60GHz, giving 28 threads across both CPUs for steady multi-threaded throughput.

How does the H730P controller limit the 10 drive bays in practice?

The H730P manages all 10 bays with 2GB cache, letting you configure RAID across any mix of 2.5-inch drives you install.
