DELL PowerEdge R640 8B rack server 2× Xeon Gold 6136 512GB DDR4 H740P 10× 2.5" trays

Dual Xeon Gold 6136 compute

The Dell PowerEdge R640 8B is a 1U rackmount server fitted with two Intel Xeon Gold 6136 processors running at 3.00GHz with 18 cores each. It ships with 512GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and an H740P RAID controller. Ten 2.5-inch drive trays are included without drives, allowing custom storage selection. The system targets virtualization, database and application hosting workloads.

Sustained multi-thread throughput

Dual 18-core CPUs deliver 36 threads total for continuous parallel processing across virtual machines or database instances. The 512GB DDR4 capacity supports large in-memory datasets without paging during extended runs. H740P hardware RAID offloads parity calculations from the host CPUs during prolonged write-heavy operations. Integrated graphics and dual 10GbE plus dual 1GbE ports maintain steady network throughput without add-in cards.

Thermal and power profile

A 60-unit weight reflects dense component packing within the 1U chassis. Front-to-rear airflow moves heat across the processor sockets, memory risers and drive cage under load. Redundant power supplies share draw to keep per-unit current lower during peak demand. Acoustic output scales with fan speed required to maintain thermal limits in typical rack environments.
