Dual-Socket 1U Density

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server built for dense scale-out data center computing. It ships with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 24 cores and a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. This configuration targets workloads that demand high core counts in minimal rack space.

Memory Headroom and Storage Flexibility

The system includes 64 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across four 16 GB modules, leaving 20 of 24 slots open for expansion up to 3 TB. The PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through across eight 2.5-inch SAS/SATA drive bays, though no drives are installed.

Redundant Power and Thermal Design

Dual 750 Watt platinum-efficiency hot-swap power supplies provide redundancy for continuous operation. The 1U chassis uses forced-air cooling calibrated for the installed dual-processor configuration. The Intel X520/I350 daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports, while iDRAC9 Enterprise enables remote management without occupying a PCIe slot.
