Dell PowerEdge R640 48-Core Server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server system built for business workloads such as virtualization, databases, file storage and application hosting. It arrives with dual Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors running at 2.10GHz, delivering 48 total cores across two LGA3647 sockets. The system includes 128GB of DDR4 memory and supports a maximum capacity of 3TB.

Suited for dense compute and virtualization.

This server suits organisations running multiple virtual machines, container clusters or data-heavy applications that benefit from high core counts and large memory capacity. The ten 2.5-inch drive bays allow flexible storage configuration with user-selected drives. Buyers who need dedicated graphics acceleration or workloads requiring discrete GPU compute should look at a different platform.

Ten 2.5-inch drive bays define storage capacity

The chassis provides ten 2.5-inch hot-plug bays and no drives are included, so the buyer chooses the exact capacity, speed and redundancy level required. This bay count is the primary constraint on how much local storage the server can hold.

Questions about this item

What storage drives are needed to populate the ten 2.5-inch bays?

You supply your own 2.5-inch drives; the ten bays accept the capacity and type that best fit your workload.

Can the two Xeon Platinum 8160 processors at 2.1GHz share the 128GB DDR4 memory with existing DDR4 modules?

Yes, the 128GB of installed DDR4 works with the dual 24-core CPUs; add matching DDR4 up to the 3TB maximum if you keep older modules.

Which front-panel LEDs confirm the server is running correctly after setup?

The power LED shows the system is on, while the Ethernet and USB LEDs indicate network link and peripheral activity.
