Dell PowerEdge R640 36-Core Server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 2U rackmount server system built for business workloads such as virtualisation, databases, file storage and application hosting. Two Intel Xeon Gold 6154 processors deliver 36 total cores at 3.0GHz base frequency. It ships with 256GB of DDR4 memory and an H730P storage controller managing eight 1.2TB SAS drives.

Suits virtualisation and database hosts.

This configuration suits organisations running multiple virtual machines, database instances or mixed application workloads that benefit from high core counts and large memory capacity. The integrated graphics and lack of dedicated GPU support mean it is not for buyers who need hardware-accelerated rendering, AI training or compute tasks requiring discrete accelerators.

Eight 2.5-inch bays with 1.2TB 10K SAS drives

The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch drive bays populated with 1.2TB 10K SAS hard drives connected via a 12Gb/s interface to the H730P RAID controller. This storage layout determines the raw capacity and I/O profile available for operating systems, applications, virtual machines and backups.

Questions about this item

Does the server ship with the eight 1.2 TB SAS drives and the H730P controller already installed?

Yes, the R640 arrives with eight 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives and the H730P RAID controller pre-installed in the eight 2.5-inch bays.

Should I pick the 256 GB DDR4 configuration or plan to expand toward the 3 TB maximum?

The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 across two Xeon Gold 6154 CPUs; you can add modules later up to the 3 TB limit if workloads grow.

What does the 36-core total mean for virtualization density on this R640?

Two 14-core Xeon Gold 6154 processors at 3.0 GHz deliver 36 logical threads, letting you run many virtual machines or containers simultaneously.
