Purpose-built rack server
The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 2U rackmount server configured with dual Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors. Each CPU delivers 24 cores at 2.10 GHz for a total of 48 cores. The system ships with 256 GB of DDR4 memory and supports up to 3 TB. Eight 2.5-inch drive bays hold 600 GB 10K SAS drives managed by an H730P controller and an X710 network adapter.
Virtualization and database focus
This configuration suits organisations running virtualised workloads, databases, file storage or application hosting that benefit from high core counts and large memory capacity. Buyers who need more than 3 TB of memory or storage interfaces not listed here should evaluate other platforms. The integrated graphics and lack of an included operating system also mean it is not a turnkey workstation for graphical tasks.
Memory ceiling decides fit
The 3 TB maximum DDR4 capacity is the single specification that determines whether this server can accommodate your projected virtual-machine density or in-memory dataset size. If your roadmap exceeds that limit, a different platform will be required.

Questions sur cet article
How do I install the 2.5 inch SAS drives and what step is often missed with the H730P controller?
Slide each 600 GB SAS drive into one of the eight 2.5 inch front bays until it clicks, then use the H730P BIOS utility to create a virtual disk before the operating system sees any storage.
Which components will need replacement first in a 24/7 virtualization workload?
The eight 10K SAS hard drives and the system fans are the primary wear items; plan to swap drives after several years of continuous writes and fans when noise or speed alerts appear.
What thermal limit appears first when both Xeon Platinum 8160 CPUs run at 2.1 GHz under sustained load?
The 1U chassis hits its cooling ceiling before the CPUs reach their thermal maximum, so inlet temperature and fan speed become the limiting factors.
