DELL PowerEdge R640 8x 2.5" 2× Xeon Platinum 8268 2.9GHz 128GB DDR4 rack server

Rackmount virtualization server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server built for business workloads such as virtualization, databases, file storage, backups and application hosting. Two Intel Xeon Platinum 8268 processors deliver 48 total cores at 2.9GHz to handle multiple services and virtual machines. 128GB of DDR4 memory is installed and the platform supports up to 3TB for memory-intensive deployments. Eight 2.5-inch drive bays let you choose the capacity and drive type that best fit your needs.

Thermals noise and power draw

The server uses standard rackmount airflow with front-to-rear cooling designed for data-centre environments. Integrated graphics and the H730P storage controller keep the component count focused on compute and storage rather than discrete accelerators. Power consumption scales with the dual 14-core Xeon configuration and the number of drives installed. Acoustic output is typical for a 1U enterprise server operating under load in a cooled rack.

Build integration and expandability

The chassis includes rack rails and a front bezel for immediate rack installation. The H730P controller manages the eight 2.5-inch bays and supports hardware RAID for the drives you select. Two LGA3647 sockets are fully populated so no further CPU upgrades are possible. Memory slots remain available to grow from 128GB toward the 3TB maximum using DDR4 modules. No operating system is included, giving you a clean slate for your preferred hypervisor or OS.
