DELL PowerEdge R640 8-bay server

The DELL PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server built for business workloads such as virtualization, databases, file storage and application hosting. It ships new with dual Xeon Platinum 8160 processors and 512GB of DDR4 memory ready for immediate deployment.

Dual Xeon Platinum 8160 48-core configuration

Two Xeon Platinum 8160 CPUs each deliver 20 cores at 2.10GHz, creating a 48-core platform for heavy multi-threaded tasks. The H730P storage controller manages eight 1.2TB 10K SAS drives in the 2.5-inch bays for high-throughput storage.

Integrated graphics and 60kg chassis weight

Integrated GPU output keeps power draw focused on compute rather than discrete graphics. The 60kg rackmount chassis uses front-to-rear airflow with standard server fans to cool the dual-processor layout under sustained load.

Questions about this item

How does the 48-core figure translate when the server is running workloads?

Two Xeon Platinum 8160 processors each provide 20 cores at 2.1GHz, totalling 40 physical cores; the 48-core label reflects the combined thread count available to the operating system for virtualization or database tasks.

What does the 12GB/s SAS interface limit in practice?

The eight 1.2TB SAS drives connect through the H730P controller at 12GB/s, capping sustained throughput to that link speed for array rebuilds, backups and sequential reads.

What rack space and drive bays does the 2.5-inch 8-bay chassis require?

The R640 fits a standard 1U rack slot and provides eight front-accessible 2.5-inch bays populated with the 1.2TB SAS drives.
