Dense 1U Dual-Socket Server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server built for dense scale-out data centre workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors running at 2.1 GHz with 24 cores each and 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory.

Suited for Virtualisation and Database Clusters

This configuration fits environments that need high core counts, redundant 750 W power supplies and integrated 10 GbE SFP+ networking in a single rack unit. Buyers who require more than 8 drive bays, GPU acceleration or single-thread frequencies above 3.7 GHz should consider other platforms.

Eight 1.2 TB SAS Drives on H730P RAID

The PERC H730P controller manages eight 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives with 2 GB cache and battery backup, supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This storage subsystem determines whether the server meets your capacity and IOPS requirements.

Questions about this item

What is included with the server and what must be purchased separately?

The unit ships with two Xeon Platinum 8160 processors, 64 GB DDR4 memory in four 16 GB modules, eight 1.2 TB SAS drives, the PERC H730P controller, X520/I350 network daughter card, iDRAC9 Enterprise, two 750 W PSUs, rails and bezel. Additional DDR4 modules or drives are optional.

Which memory capacity should I select for this configuration?

The system arrives with 64 GB across four slots; 20 slots remain open. Add registered ECC DDR4 modules in matching sizes to reach the 3 TB maximum your workloads need.

What does the 3.7 GHz turbo figure mean in daily use?

Each 24-core Xeon Platinum 8160 can boost from its 2.1 GHz base to 3.7 GHz when thermal headroom allows, giving short bursts of higher single-thread speed for latency-sensitive tasks.
