Dense 1U dual-socket server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server built for dense scale-out data centre computing. Two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors provide 24 cores each at 2.1 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules.

Suits virtualization and database clusters

This configuration suits workloads that demand high core counts and large memory capacity in a single rack unit, such as virtualization hosts or database clusters. Buyers who need more than 3 TB of RAM or additional drive bays beyond the eight 2.5-inch slots should consider larger chassis.

256 GB DDR4 registered ECC memory installed

The server ships with 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory, expandable to 3 TB across 24 slots. This memory capacity and type determine whether the platform matches the application's working-set requirements.

Questions about this item

What rack depth do the included Ready Rails support for this 1U R640?

The Ready Rails supplied with the R640 are adjustable for standard four-post racks; check the rail kit label for the exact depth range before mounting.

Which slot does the PERC H730P 2 GB controller occupy during installation?

The H730P is pre-installed in the dedicated internal storage controller slot, so no PCIe slot is consumed and no extra cabling is required.

How often should the PERC H730P cache battery be replaced on this server?

The H730P cache battery is a consumable; Dell recommends replacing it every three to five years to preserve write-back cache protection.
