Dell PowerEdge R640 28-core server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server fitted with two Intel Xeon Gold 6132 processors running at 2.60GHz. Together they provide 28 cores for virtualization, databases and business applications. It ships with 512GB of DDR4 memory and ten 1TB SATA SSDs in 2.5-inch bays. The system is aimed at data centres and growing IT environments.

Storage and memory limits

Ten 2.5-inch drive bays restrict the maximum drive count to ten, so capacity cannot be expanded beyond the installed 10TB without external enclosures. The DDR4 memory subsystem tops out at 3TB, leaving headroom above the current 512GB. Network connectivity uses integrated X540 and I350 controllers for 10GbE and 1GbE links respectively.

Installation notes

At 60kg the chassis requires two people or a lift for rack mounting. The LGA3647 sockets and DDR4 DIMM slots are only accessible after removing the top cover, so processor or memory upgrades need downtime. Drive carriers slide in from the front, but the server ships without an operating system, so an OS must be installed before production use.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 512GB DDR4 configuration or add more memory later?

The system ships with 512GB DDR4 installed and supports up to 3TB, so you can start with the included capacity and expand when workloads demand it.

What does the 28-core total from two Xeon Gold 6132 processors deliver in a real deployment?

Fourteen cores per CPU at 2.60GHz give 28 threads total, providing strong multi-threaded throughput for virtualization, databases and concurrent business applications.

How do the X540/I350 network controllers limit practical throughput?

The integrated X540 and I350 controllers handle 10GbE and 1GbE connections respectively, setting the maximum wired network speed available to the server.
