Purpose-built virtualization server
The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server designed for business workloads such as virtualization, databases, file storage and application hosting. It targets IT teams that need dense compute in a single rack unit. Buyers who require GPU acceleration or more than eight drive bays should look elsewhere.
Thermals noise and power
Dual Intel Xeon Gold 6132 processors each run at 2.60 GHz with 20 cores, totalling 28 cores across the system. The 256 GB DDR4 memory supports multiple virtual machines and data-heavy applications. Integrated graphics and the H730P controller operate within the standard chassis airflow; no liquid cooling or specialised power infrastructure is included.
Bundled controller and storage
The H730P RAID controller simplifies array configuration and ongoing storage management. Eight new 1 TB SATA SSDs deliver 2.5-inch hot-plug capacity for operating systems, virtual machines, backups and business data. The server ships without an operating system, so the administrator must supply and install the preferred hypervisor or OS.

Questions sur cet article
How do I install the eight 2.5" SSDs and the H730P controller, and what step is often missed?
Slide each 1 TB SATA SSD into the eight front bays, seat the H730P in its dedicated slot, then create the virtual disk in the controller BIOS before installing an operating system.
What maintenance or replacement will this server need over time?
Clean the front intake area regularly, replace the internal CMOS battery when the clock drifts, and swap any SSD the H730P reports as failing.
Which limit appears first when the dual Gold 6132 CPUs run sustained workloads?
The 256 GB DDR4 memory ceiling is reached before the two 20-core processors saturate, so heavy virtualization will need a memory upgrade.
