Questions about this item

What does the 48-core count mean for virtualisation density on this R640?

Two Xeon Platinum 8160 processors give 48 cores at 2.10GHz, letting the server run many virtual machines or containers simultaneously without core contention.

How does the H730P controller limit the 8x 1TB SATA SSDs?

The H730P manages the eight 2.5-inch SATA SSDs through its onboard RAID engine, capping each drive at the SATA interface speed while providing hardware RAID levels and cache.

What clearance and mounting hardware does the 60-weight chassis require?

The 1U rackmount body needs a standard four-post rack with square or threaded holes; sliding rails support the 60-unit weight and allow service access from the front.
