Rackmount server for virtualization and databases

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server built for business workloads such as virtualization, databases, file storage and application hosting. Two Intel Xeon Gold 6132 processors deliver 28 cores at 2.6 GHz, and 128 GB of DDR4 memory supports multiple virtual machines and data-heavy services. Eight 2.5-inch bays hold 600 GB 10K SAS drives managed by an H730P controller.

Suited for multi-service consolidation.

This platform suits IT teams consolidating many services or virtual machines onto a single dense node with internal SAS storage and integrated graphics. Buyers who need add-in GPU acceleration, more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays, or memory beyond 3 TB should consider a different platform because this unit has neither PCIe GPU support nor additional internal bays.

28-core Xeon Gold 6132 configuration drives capacity

The twin Xeon Gold 6132 CPUs provide 28 total cores at 2.6 GHz, which is the primary specification that determines how many concurrent workloads the server can handle. Memory scales to 3 TB DDR4, but the installed 128 GB and eight 600 GB SAS drives set the immediate usable capacity for virtualization and database tasks.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the two Xeon Gold 6132 processors are detected at 2.60GHz after powering on the R640?

During POST the BIOS will display two CPUs, each with 18 cores running at 2.60GHz, and the system LED will show a steady power indicator.

Which components ship inside the 8-bay 2.5-inch chassis and what must I source separately?

The unit includes dual Gold 6132 CPUs, 128GB DDR4, H730P controller, X710 network adapter, and eight 600GB SAS drives; rails, OS licence and any extra memory are not included.

Should I choose the 128GB DDR4 configuration or plan to expand toward the 3TB maximum for heavy virtualization?

128GB suits moderate VM density; if you expect many concurrent workloads, populate additional DIMM slots up to the 3TB limit using DDR4 modules only.
