DELL PowerEdge R640 8B SFF 36-Core 2x Xeon Gold 6154 3.0GHz 512GB DDR4 rack server

36-Core Xeon Gold 6154 Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server system designed for business workloads such as virtualization, databases, and application hosting. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6154 processors running at 3.0GHz, delivering 36 total cores for parallel processing tasks. The unit includes 512GB of DDR4 memory and an H730P storage controller for RAID management. Rails and a front bezel are also included for immediate rack deployment.

Suited for Virtualization, Not for GPU Compute

This server suits IT teams building on-premise virtualization clusters, database hosts, or file storage nodes that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a 1U form factor. The eight 2.5-inch drive bays allow flexible storage configurations using the included H730P controller. Buyers who need dedicated GPU acceleration for AI training, rendering, or VDI workloads should look elsewhere, as only integrated graphics are present. The system also ships without an operating system or storage drives installed.

512GB DDR4 Memory Capacity

The installed 512GB of DDR4 memory is the key specification determining fit for memory-intensive applications such as large virtual machine fleets or in-memory databases. The platform supports up to 3TB maximum capacity across its DIMM slots, allowing future expansion if workloads grow. Memory operates in DDR4 format only; other generations are not compatible with the LGA3647 platform. Verify your application memory requirements against the 512GB baseline before purchasing.
