DELL PowerEdge R640 rack server 2× Xeon Gold 6146 3.20GHz 12-core 192GB DDR4 10× 1TB SSD H740P bezel

Dual Xeon Gold 6146 12-core rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server system built for business workloads such as virtualization, databases, file storage, backups and application hosting. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6146 processors running at 3.20GHz, each providing 12 cores for dependable multi-threaded performance. The system includes 192GB of DDR4 memory and ten 1TB SSDs housed in 2.5-inch drive bays. An H740P storage controller and front bezel complete the rack-ready configuration.

Suited for virtualisation and database hosts.

This configuration suits organisations running multiple virtual machines, business applications or data-heavy services that benefit from high core counts and large memory capacity. The integrated graphics and lack of dedicated GPU support mean it is not appropriate for workloads requiring hardware-accelerated rendering, AI training or high-performance visual computing. Buyers needing PCIe expansion for add-in accelerator cards should verify slot availability against their specific requirements before ordering.

Confirm rack depth, power

The unit weighs 60 units and fits a standard 19-inch rack, but you must verify that your cabinet depth, airflow and power distribution can support a dual-processor 1U server with ten drives and an H740P controller. Ensure your PDUs deliver the correct connectors and that your cooling strategy handles the thermal output of two Gold 6146 CPUs under sustained load. No operating system is included, so plan for your own hypervisor or OS installation.
