Dual-socket 1U platform

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server built for dense scale-out data centre deployments. Two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors run at 2.1 GHz with 24 cores each, supported by 512 GB of DDR4 memory across 24 slots. Redundant 750 W power supplies and a PERC H730P controller with battery-backed cache complete the base configuration.

Density-focused workloads

This server suits environments that need maximum compute in a single rack unit, such as virtualisation clusters, high-performance databases or HPC nodes. The eight 2.5-inch drive bays and quad-port 1/10 GbE networking support consolidated storage and fast fabric connectivity. Buyers who need more internal drive bays, GPU acceleration or single-socket economics should evaluate alternative form factors.

512 GB DDR4 memory capacity

The installed 512 GB of registered ECC DDR4-2666 determines the immediate working set size for memory-intensive applications. Twenty-four DIMM slots allow expansion up to the platform maximum of 3 TB when workloads grow. Confirm that your application licensing and OS support align with this memory footprint before deployment.

Questions about this item

What rails and bezel are included for mounting the R640 in a rack?

The server ships with ready rails and a front bezel for 1U rack installation.

How are the two Xeon 8160 processors and the 512 GB DDR4 memory installed, and what step is often missed?

Both CPUs are pre-installed in the LGA 3647 sockets; the 16 DIMMs fill the 24 slots in the supported population order, and the common oversight is not matching the memory-channel sequence.

Which components in this R640 will need replacement or maintenance over time?

The H730P controller battery, the two 750 W hot-swap power supplies, and the two 800 GB SATA SSDs are the field-replaceable items that age with use.
