Dell PowerEdge R640 4LFF dual Xeon server

This Dell PowerEdge R640 4LFF system is a rack-mount server built for compute-heavy workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors running at 2.1 GHz, each providing 24 cores and 33 MB of cache. The platform includes 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a Dell PERC H740P RAID controller. No drives are installed, so storage can be configured to order.

Ideal for virtualisation hosts

The dual 24-core CPUs and large memory capacity suit multi-tenant virtualisation, in-memory databases and high-thread-count applications. Integrated graphics and 10 GbE networking handle basic display and fast fabric connectivity. Buyers who need installed drives, GPU acceleration or more than four 3.5-inch bays should evaluate other platforms. Remote management uses iDRAC9 Enterprise for full out-of-band control.

Four 3.5-inch SATA bays with PERC H740P RAID

The chassis provides exactly four 3.5-inch hot-plug bays wired to the PERC H740P controller over SATA. This determines the maximum number of spinning drives or SATA SSDs you can install internally. The controller supports hardware RAID levels for redundancy and performance. Memory can scale to 7.68 TB across the available DIMM slots when workloads grow.

Questions about this item

What drive bays does this R640 chassis provide for my own 3.5-inch SATA drives?

The chassis has four 3.5-inch bays that accept SATA drives; the PERC H740P controller manages RAID for any drives you install.

Can the installed 256 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory work with additional modules I already own?

Yes, the system uses DDR4 ECC registered DIMMs and supports up to 7.68 TB total, so compatible modules you already have can be added to the open slots.

How do I confirm both Xeon Platinum 8160 processors and the 256 GB DDR4 are detected after first boot?

Open the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface or enter the BIOS; both will show 2 processors at 2.1 GHz with 24 cores each and 256 GB DDR4 memory.
