Dense 1U Dual-Socket Server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server built for dense scale-out computing. It carries two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors, each with 24 cores at 2.1 GHz. The system ships with 768 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 24 slots. Eight 2.5-inch SAS drive bays are populated with 300 GB 10K drives.

Suited for Virtualisation and Database Workloads

This configuration fits environments that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a single rack unit. The PERC H730P controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with a 2 GB cache. Buyers who require more than eight drive bays or a different drive interface should consider another platform.

768 GB DDR4 Registered ECC Memory Installed

The server arrives with 768 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory using all 24 DIMM slots. Maximum supported capacity is 3 TB when higher-density modules are used. This installed memory amount determines whether the system can hold your working dataset without immediate upgrades.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the 2x 2.1 GHz 24-core Xeon 8160 CPUs and 768 GB DDR4 2666 MHz memory are recognised after powering on the R640?

During POST the BIOS will list both Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 2.10 GHz 24-core processors and show 768 GB (24x 32 GB) DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory; iDRAC 9 Enterprise also displays the same inventory in its System Overview page.

Which components ship with the server and which must be purchased separately?

The unit includes 2x Xeon 8160 CPUs, 768 GB DDR4, PERC H730P 2 GB controller with battery, 8x 300 GB 10K SAS 2.5" drives, Intel X520/I350 quad-port 2x 1 GbE + 2x 10 Gb SFP+ daughter card, iDRAC 9 Enterprise, 2x 750 W platinum PSUs, Ready Rails and front bezel; no additional parts are required for basic operation.

Which configuration should I choose if I need the maximum 3 TB DDR4 capacity supported by the R640?

The R640 has 24 DIMM slots and supports up to 3 TB; this listing provides 768 GB using 24x 32 GB modules, so reaching 3 TB would require replacing all modules with higher-capacity DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC DIMMs.
