Built for business workloads

This Dell PowerEdge R640 rackmount server is configured for virtualization, databases, backups and application hosting. Dual Intel Xeon Gold 6146 processors at 3.20GHz with 12 cores each deliver dependable performance for multi-threaded business applications. The 192GB DDR4 memory supports multiple services and virtual machines simultaneously. Five 512GB SSDs provide storage capacity for operating systems, applications and business data.

H740P controller and bezel included

The integrated H740P storage controller manages the installed SSDs for RAID configurations without requiring a separate card. A front bezel is supplied, completing the rack-ready appearance and helping secure the drive bays. The system arrives with BIOS configured, controllers set up and drivers updated by certified technicians. No operating system is installed, allowing you to deploy your preferred platform.

Ten 2.5-inch drive bays

The chassis offers 10 expansion bays for 2.5-inch drives, of which five are populated with the included SSDs. This leaves five additional bays available for future storage expansion. Maximum memory capacity reaches 3TB across the DDR4 slots. Integrated graphics handle console output without a discrete GPU. The unit weighs 60 units as shipped.

Questions about this item

What maintenance or replacement will the 512GB SSD drives need later?

The five 512GB SSDs are installed in the 2.5in bays and can be swapped individually if a drive fails or capacity must grow.

Which limit appears first under sustained use on the Xeon Gold 6146 processors?

The 12 cores per CPU running at 3.20GHz will reach thermal or power limits before memory bandwidth becomes a bottleneck.

How much noise, heat or power does the R640 produce when running all day?

Dual 6146 CPUs and the H740P controller draw continuous power and generate heat that the rack fans must exhaust constantly.
