DELL PowerEdge R640 1U rack server 2× Xeon Platinum 8160 2.1 GHz 24-core 512 GB DDR4

Dense 1U dual-socket server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server built for dense scale-out data centre computing. It ships with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors, each running at 2.10 GHz with 24 cores and a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 512 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 16 modules. A PERC H730P 2 GB controller manages SAS and SATA drives with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 support.

Suited for memory-intensive workloads

This configuration fits virtualisation hosts, database clusters and high-performance computing nodes that demand large memory capacity and dual 24-core CPUs in a single rack unit. Redundant 750 W power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise remote management simplify operations at scale. Organisations requiring GPU acceleration or more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays should consider alternative chassis designs.

512 GB DDR4 registered ECC memory

The installed 512 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 slots determines whether this server meets your capacity and error-correction requirements. The platform supports up to 3 TB maximum, so expansion is possible if the current figure falls short. Verify that your applications and operating system can address this memory configuration before deployment.
