DELL PowerEdge R640 8x 2.5" 48-Core 2x Xeon Platinum 8160 2.1GHz 512GB DDR4 8x 1TB SATA SSD H730P X550-T4

48-Core Xeon Platinum Server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 2U rackmount server system built for business workloads such as virtualization, databases, and application hosting. It ships with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors running at 2.1GHz, providing 48 total cores for multi-threaded performance. The system includes 512GB of DDR4 memory to support multiple virtual machines and data-heavy services. No operating system is pre-installed, allowing custom deployment.

H730P Controller and 8-Bay Storage

Eight 2.5-inch drive bays are populated with new 1TB SATA SSDs managed by an H730P storage controller for simplified array configuration and day-to-day management. The chassis includes front-panel LEDs for power, Ethernet activity, and USB status to aid monitoring. Dual integrated X550-T4 network adapters provide four 10GbE ports for high-throughput connectivity. Expansion is limited to the two installed processors and the populated drive bays.

60kg Rackmount Thermals and Power

The server weighs 60 kilograms and requires a standard rackmount environment with adequate airflow for its integrated cooling system. Dual power supplies support the 48-core CPU configuration and fully loaded storage subsystem under typical virtualization loads. Fan speeds scale with processor and drive temperatures to maintain stable operation. Power draw varies with workload intensity across the two Platinum 8160 processors.
