36-Core Rack Server for Virtualisation

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 2U rackmount server system built for business workloads such as virtualisation, databases, file storage, backups and application hosting. Dual Intel Xeon Gold 6154 processors deliver 36 cores at 3.00GHz for dependable multi-threaded performance. The system ships new with 256GB of DDR4 memory installed across two LGA3647 sockets.

H730P Controller and NVMe-Ready Bays

The included H730P storage controller simplifies setup and day-to-day management of the storage subsystem. Ten 2.5-inch drive bays provide expansion capacity, with eight bays supporting NVMe drives for high-speed storage configurations. Drives are not included, allowing selection of capacity and drive type to match specific workload requirements.

256GB DDR4 with 3TB Headroom

Installed 256GB DDR4 memory supports multiple services, virtual machines and data-heavy business applications simultaneously. The platform scales to a maximum of 3TB, providing substantial headroom for future growth. Integrated graphics handle basic display output, so the server is not suited for GPU-accelerated workloads or workloads requiring discrete graphics cards.

Questions about this item

What maintenance or replacement will the H730P RAID controller need later?

The H730P controller has a cache battery that typically needs replacement after several years of continuous operation. Drives installed in the 10 bays may require replacement as they age or if a drive fails.

Which limit appears first when the dual Xeon Gold 6154 CPUs run sustained heavy workloads?

Thermal limits usually appear first. The 36 combined cores at 3.00 GHz generate significant heat, so the system fans will ramp up to keep the processors within safe temperatures.

How much noise and heat does the R640 produce when running all day under load?

Expect noticeable fan noise as the cooling system works to dissipate heat from the two 20-core processors. The 1U chassis uses high-speed fans that become audible in quiet rooms during sustained use.
