Dual-socket 1U compute density

The PowerEdge R640 fits two Xeon Platinum 8160 processors into a single rack unit, delivering 24 cores per CPU at 2.1 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo for scale-out workloads that demand high core counts in minimal space.

Enterprise storage and networking bundle

Eight 300 GB 10K SAS drives connect through the PERC H730P 2 GB controller with battery-backed cache, while the Intel X520/I350 daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports for flexible fabric attachment.

512 GB DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory

Sixteen 32 GB modules populate 16 of 24 DIMM slots, leaving eight slots open for expansion up to the 3 TB platform maximum when workloads outgrow the factory configuration.

Questions about this item

Will the PERC H730P controller battery need replacing during the server's life?

The PERC H730P includes a battery-backed cache module; the battery is a consumable part that typically requires replacement every few years to maintain write-back cache protection.

What thermal limit appears first when both Xeon Platinum 8160 processors run at sustained load?

Each CPU has a 3.7 GHz turbo ceiling; under continuous all-core work the processors will hit their package power limit before reaching maximum turbo frequency.

How much power do the dual 750 W platinum supplies draw when the system runs 24/7?

With two redundant 750 W platinum-efficiency PSUs, the platform draws only what the components require; idle power is low and full-load draw stays within the 750 W per supply rating.
