DELL PowerEdge R640 10B 2x Xeon Gold 6148 512GB DDR4 10x 600GB SAS

Purpose-built rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 10B is a 1U rackmount system designed for data centres, server rooms and labs that run virtualization, databases, file storage or application hosting. Two Intel Xeon Gold 6148 processors deliver 40 cores at 2.40GHz, while 512GB of DDR4 memory supports dense virtual-machine workloads. Ten 2.5-inch bays come populated with 600GB 10K SAS drives for operating systems, applications and backups. The platform targets IT teams that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a compact form factor.

Sustained-load behaviour

Dual-socket LGA3647 topology and 512GB DDR4 let the server maintain throughput across many concurrent virtual machines and data-heavy services without throttling. Ten 10K SAS spindles provide consistent random I/O for databases and backup streams over long periods. Integrated X540 and I350 network controllers handle steady east-west and management traffic. The 3TB maximum memory ceiling allows future expansion when workloads grow beyond the current configuration.

Build and connectivity

Rackmount chassis includes power, Ethernet and USB status LEDs for at-a-glance health checks in dense rows. Ten front-accessible 2.5-inch bays simplify drive replacement without pulling the unit from the rack. Dual embedded network ports support both data and dedicated management paths. Integrated GPU handles basic console output so no discrete graphics card is required. The 60-unit weight figure reflects a fully populated chassis ready for standard four-post rack installation.
