40-Core Xeon Virtualisation Server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server built for business workloads such as virtualisation, databases and application hosting. Dual Intel Xeon Gold 6148 processors deliver 40 cores at 2.40 GHz with 128 GB of DDR4 memory installed. Eight 2.5-inch drive bays and an H730P storage controller are included, while drives and an operating system are not supplied.

Upgrade From Older Rack Servers

Replaces earlier-generation 1U servers that lack the core count or memory headroom for current virtualisation clusters. The jump is worthwhile when existing hosts cannot run enough simultaneous virtual machines or when storage controller features limit array flexibility. Buyers who need more than two processor sockets or integrated GPU acceleration will not be served by this platform.

Rack-Ready Installation

The unit ships with rack rails and a front bezel so it can be mounted in a standard cabinet without extra hardware. Technicians pre-configure the BIOS, storage controller and driver stack before dispatch, reducing on-site setup to drive insertion and operating-system deployment. Missing drives or an unsupported operating system are the most common reasons for delays.

Questions about this item

What rack width and rail type does the PowerEdge R640 8x 2.5" server require?

The server is a rackmount chassis that includes rack rails and a front bezel for installation in a standard equipment rack.

How are the 2.5-inch drive trays installed in the 8-bay front panel, and what step is often missed?

The 8 included trays slide into the front SFF bays and lock with the integrated latch; the step often missed is fully seating each tray until the latch clicks to ensure power and data connections engage.

When will the DDR4 memory or H730P controller battery need replacement?

The 128GB of DDR4 memory has no scheduled replacement; the H730P RAID controller includes a cache backup battery that typically requires replacement after several years of continuous operation.
