Dell PowerEdge R640 dual Xeon Gold 6136 server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server built for business workloads such as virtualization, databases, and application hosting. Two Intel Xeon Gold 6136 processors running at 3.00 GHz with 12 cores each provide dependable compute performance. Installed 192 GB DDR4 memory supports multiple virtual machines and data-heavy applications. Six 1 TB SSDs and an H740P controller deliver storage capacity for operating systems, virtual machines, and backups.

Suits virtualization and database hosts.

This server suits teams running virtualization clusters, database instances, or file-storage services that need balanced CPU and memory in a compact rack form. The integrated GPU and lack of discrete graphics slots make it unsuitable for buyers who need GPU-accelerated workloads such as AI training, rendering, or VDI graphics. Buyers requiring more than ten 2.5-inch drive bays or a different processor family should evaluate other platforms.

192 GB DDR4 memory capacity

The system ships with 192 GB of DDR4 memory installed and supports a maximum of 3 TB across its DIMM slots. This capacity determines how many virtual machines, containers, or in-memory databases can run concurrently. Verify that your workload fits within the installed amount or plan for additional DDR4 modules to reach the required total.

Questions about this item

How many 2.5-inch drive bays does the R640 chassis provide for the 1TB SSDs?

The server has 10 front-accessible 2.5-inch bays; six are populated with 1TB SSDs and the remaining four are available for expansion.

What is the correct order for seating the two Xeon Gold 6136 processors and the 192GB of DDR4 memory during initial build?

Install both CPUs into their sockets first, then populate the DIMM slots following the per-channel population sequence shown on the system board label.

Which component manages the six 1TB SSDs and may require a firmware update or battery replacement over time?

The H740P RAID controller handles the SSD array; its firmware should be kept current and the onboard cache battery module replaced when the controller reports a degradation alert.
