Built for virtualization and data workloads
The Dell PowerEdge R640 10B is a 1U rackmount server system equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 6132 processors, each running at 2.60 GHz with 18 cores for a total of 28 cores. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 memory installed and supports a maximum capacity of 3 TB. The chassis provides ten 2.5-inch drive bays, while integrated X540 and I350 network controllers handle connectivity. No operating system is included.
Verify rack space power and memory compatibility
Confirm that your rack can accommodate a 1U form factor and that your power distribution units deliver sufficient current for dual-processor operation. The system uses DDR4 RDIMM or LRDIMM modules; ensure any additional memory matches this specification and the LGA3647 platform requirements. Storage drives are not supplied, so plan for the quantity and type of 2.5-inch drives your workload requires. Network uplinks will use the onboard 10 GbE and 1 GbE ports.
Suits dense virtualization and database hosts
This configuration fits IT teams running hypervisors, database instances, or mixed application workloads in a space-efficient rack slot. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, larger 3.5-inch drive bays, or a single-socket platform with lower licensing costs should evaluate alternative chassis designs. Organizations requiring pre-installed operating systems or proprietary management appliances will need to provision those separately.

Questions about this item
Does the server ship with any 2.5" drives in the 10 bays, or must they be purchased separately?
Storage drives are not included, so you can choose the capacity and drive type that best fit your needs. The 10 x 2.5" bays are empty and ready for your selected drives.
Is the installed 256GB DDR4 the maximum memory this R640 can hold, or can it be expanded further?
The system supports up to 3TB of DDR4 memory. The installed 256GB leaves substantial headroom for adding more modules as workloads grow.
What real-world throughput can I expect from the dual Xeon Gold 6132 CPUs running at 2.60GHz with 28 total cores?
The dual 18-core Gold 6132 processors deliver 28 cores at 2.60GHz, providing dependable performance for virtualization, databases, and multi-service business workloads.
