Compact 40-core rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 fits two Xeon Gold 6148 CPUs into a 1U chassis with eight 2.5-inch bays. Forty cores at 2.4 GHz and 128 GB of DDR4 memory give a dense platform for virtualisation clusters and database nodes. An integrated H730P controller manages the eight 600 GB SAS drives from a single slot.

Suits high-density compute, not GPU workloads

Teams consolidating many virtual machines or running memory-heavy applications will use the 3 TB memory ceiling and dual-socket layout. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or more than eight drive bays should look at larger form factors. The integrated graphics cannot drive display-heavy tasks.

Eight-bay 2.5-inch SAS backplane fixes storage

The front panel holds exactly eight hot-plug SAS bays wired to the H730P controller. No additional internal drive connections exist, so capacity and RAID topology are decided at purchase. Confirm the bay count matches your redundancy plan before ordering.

Questions about this item

How much power do the dual Xeon Gold 6148 CPUs draw under continuous load?

Each Gold 6148 is a 22-core processor running at 2.40GHz, giving 40 cores total; sustained power draw will follow the platform's thermal design for that configuration.

Which rails or rack hardware are required to mount the 2.5-inch chassis?

The unit is a standard 1U rackmount server with 8x 2.5-inch drive bays; it fits universal square-hole or threaded rails rated for its 60 weight figure.

Can the H730P controller manage the existing 600GB SAS drives together with larger capacity SAS disks?

The H730P supports mixed-capacity SAS arrays, so the supplied 8x 600GB 10K drives can share a virtual disk with higher-capacity SAS HDDs.
