DELL PowerEdge R640 40-Core Rack Server 2x Xeon Gold 6148 256GB DDR4 H740P 8x 2.5" Trays Bezel

40-Core Rack Server for Virtualization

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server system equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 6148 processors. Each CPU provides 20 cores at 2.40GHz, delivering 40 cores total for demanding compute tasks. It ships with 256GB of DDR4 memory installed and supports up to 3TB maximum capacity. The integrated H740P storage controller manages the eight 2.5-inch drive bays behind the included front bezel.

Virtualization and Database Workloads

This server suits IT teams running hypervisors, database clusters, or multi-tenant application hosting where core count and memory bandwidth matter. The dual-socket LGA3647 design and large DDR4 capacity handle concurrent virtual machines and data-intensive services. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, high-frequency single-thread performance, or pre-installed operating systems should evaluate other platforms.

Eight 2.5-Inch Drive Bays with H740P Controller

The chassis provides eight hot-plug 2.5-inch bays wired to the integrated H740P RAID controller, defining the storage topology you can build. No drives are included, so you select SSD or HDD media that match capacity and endurance requirements. This bay count and controller combination determines whether the R640 fits your planned array configuration.
