1U Rack Server for Virtualization

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server system designed for business workloads such as virtualization, databases, file storage and application hosting. It arrives in new condition with two Intel Xeon Gold 6148 processors installed, delivering a total of 40 cores at 2.40 GHz. The system includes 512 GB of DDR4 memory and an H730P storage controller managing ten 600 GB 10K SAS hard drives in 2.5-inch bays.

Suited for Multi-VM Environments, Not GPU Workloads

This server suits IT teams running multiple virtual machines, business applications or backup targets that benefit from high core counts and large memory capacity. The ten drive bays provide ample space for operating systems, application data and virtual machine images on SAS media. Buyers who require dedicated GPU acceleration for compute tasks or graphics rendering should look elsewhere, as the platform uses integrated graphics only.

Ten 2.5-Inch SAS Drive Bays with H730P Controller

The chassis provides ten 2.5-inch expansion bays populated with 600 GB 10K SAS drives, connected to the integrated H730P RAID controller for storage management. This bay count and drive interface determine how much spinning media the system can hold and what replacement drives are compatible. Memory can be expanded up to 3 TB using DDR4 modules across the available slots.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the R640 get when both Xeon Gold 6148 processors run at 2.40GHz continuously?

The dual 24-core Xeon Gold 6148 CPUs draw significant power under full load, so the 1U chassis relies on high-speed internal fans that produce noticeable noise and exhaust heat into the rack aisle.

Which rails, cables and management modules must I already have to install this 10-bay rack server?

You need compatible sliding rails for a 1U Dell rackmount, SAS cables or a backplane that matches the H730P controller, and a network switch for the integrated Ethernet ports; no operating system is included.

Will my existing 2.5-inch SAS drives work in the ten front bays alongside the supplied 600GB disks?

Yes, the 10-bay 2.5-inch backplane accepts any SAS HDD or SSD that matches the H730P controller, so older 2.5-inch SAS drives can be mixed with the ten 600GB 10K drives.
