PowerEdge R640 dual Xeon Platinum 8160 server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack-mount server system equipped with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors running at 2.1 GHz and 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It ships without any hard drives installed, leaving the four 3.5-inch drive bays available for SATA storage configured through the integrated PERC H740P RAID controller.

Suited for memory-intensive workloads not for GPU

This configuration targets environments that need high core counts and large memory capacity, such as virtualisation hosts, in-memory databases or high-performance computing clusters. The integrated graphics and lack of installed GPUs make it unsuitable for workloads that require dedicated accelerator cards or graphical processing power.

384 GB DDR4 ECC memory defines capacity

The installed 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered RAM sets the immediate working capacity, while the platform supports expansion up to 7.68 TB across the available DIMM slots. Buyers needing more memory than 384 GB must plan additional module purchases, and those requiring a different memory generation cannot use this system.

Questions about this item

Will the PERC H740P RAID controller recognise my existing 3.5" SATA drives in the four drive bays?

Yes, the PERC H740P controller supports SATA drives and the chassis provides four 3.5" bays for them.

How can I confirm both Xeon Platinum 8160 processors and all 384 GB of DDR4 memory are detected after power-on?

Check the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface or the BIOS POST screen; both will list 24 cores per CPU and the full 384 GB installed.

Does the server ship with drive caddies for the 3.5" bays and the rail kit, or must I order them separately?

Drive caddies for the four 3.5" bays are included; the rail kit is available on request.
