Dual Xeon Platinum 8168 Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 48-core rackmount system built for business workloads such as virtualization, databases, file storage and application hosting. Two Intel Xeon Platinum 8168 processors running at 2.70 GHz deliver dependable performance for multi-threaded services. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 memory to support numerous virtual machines and data-heavy applications.

H740P Controller Rails and Bezel Included

The bundle adds a PERC H740P storage controller, rack rails and a front bezel so the chassis is ready for immediate rack installation. Eight 2.5-inch drive bays accept the drives you select, while a PCIe NVMe card slot provides an option for high-speed storage. No operating system or drives are included, letting you tailor capacity and software to the deployment.

Verify Rack Space Power and Memory Limits

Confirm your rack has 1U height clearance and sufficient power budget for a 60 kg unit with dual processors. The LGA 2066 sockets and DDR4 slots support up to 3 TB total memory, so plan module population before ordering. Integrated graphics handle basic display output, but GPU compute tasks require a separate accelerator card.

Questions about this item

What drive maintenance or replacement will the 8x 2.5" bays and H740P controller need later?

The eight 2.5-inch bays accept your choice of drives; the H740P controller manages RAID arrays so failed drives can be hot-swapped and rebuilt without downtime.

Which limit appears first under sustained use with the 2.70GHz Xeon Platinum 8168 CPUs?

The two 2.70 GHz Xeon Platinum 8168 processors set the compute ceiling; sustained loads will hit CPU thermal or thread limits before the 512 GB DDR4 or 3 TB maximum memory is reached.

How much noise, heat and power should I expect when this R640 runs all day?

Dual Xeon Platinum 8168 CPUs and 512 GB DDR4 draw significant power and generate heat that the rackmount fans must move continuously; expect noticeable fan noise in a quiet room.
