High-Density 10-Bay Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server system built for business workloads such as virtualization, databases, and application hosting. It arrives new with dual Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors providing 48 total cores at 2.1GHz and 256GB of DDR4 memory.

Suited For Virtualisation And Storage

This configuration suits IT teams consolidating multiple virtual machines or running memory-intensive databases on SATA SSDs. Buyers requiring GPU acceleration or more than two processor sockets should look elsewhere.

H730P Controller With Ten Drive Bays

The integrated H730P storage controller manages the ten 2.5-inch bays populated with 1TB SATA SSDs. This single component determines RAID options and throughput for the entire storage array.

Questions about this item

How much heat do the two Xeon Platinum 8160 CPUs generate when the R640 runs continuously?

The dual Xeon Platinum 8160 configuration delivers 48 cores at 2.1 GHz, and the 1U R640 chassis uses redundant fans to move that heat out the rear.

What storage drives must I already have to use the H730P controller in this server?

The H730P manages the ten 2.5-inch SATA SSDs already installed; no extra drives are required to start.

Can my existing DDR4 RDIMMs be added to the 256 GB already installed?

The system holds 256 GB of DDR4 today and supports up to 3 TB total, so additional DDR4 modules can fill the remaining slots.
