DELL PowerEdge R640 Rack Server 2x Xeon Gold 6246 256GB DDR4 2x 4TB NVMe RAID 1 Windows Server 2025

Dual Xeon Gold 6246 Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server built around two Intel Xeon Gold 6246 processors. Each CPU provides 12 cores at 3.30 GHz, giving 24 cores and 48 threads total. With 256 GB of DDR4 memory installed across 24 DIMM slots and a maximum capacity of 3 TB, it targets virtualization hosts, database nodes, and AI inference workloads that demand high core counts and large memory footprints. Windows Server 2025 comes pre-installed for immediate deployment.

Verify Power and Rack Requirements

Confirm your facility can supply redundant power to the server and that your rack provides standard 1U mounting space with adequate airflow for the redundant fan assembly. The system uses an LGA 3647 socket platform limited to two processors, so no further CPU expansion is possible. Two PCIe 3.0 slots are available for additional controllers or network adapters. Ensure your management network can reach the iDRAC9 interface for remote monitoring and firmware updates.

Air-Cooled Chassis with Front and Rear VGA

The rack-mount kit secures the unit in a standard enclosure while the redundant fans maintain thermal stability under sustained load. Two 4 TB NVMe SSDs are configured in RAID 1 via the H730P controller, delivering 4 TB of usable capacity with mirroring for data protection. Connectivity includes one USB 2.0 port, two USB 3.0 ports, and VGA outputs on both the front and rear panels for local console access. TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot are enabled to support platform integrity requirements.
