DELL PowerEdge R640 SFF 2x 3.20GHz Xeon Gold 6146 48GB DDR4 10x 1TB SSD H740P rack server

Dell PowerEdge R640 SFF server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server designed for business workloads such as virtualization, databases, file storage, backups and application hosting. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6146 processors running at 3.20GHz, each offering eight cores for dependable multi-threaded performance. The system includes 48GB of DDR4 memory and ten 1TB SSDs housed in 2.5-inch bays, managed by an H740P storage controller.

Suited for virtualization and data workloads

This configuration suits organisations that need dense compute and storage in a single rack unit for running multiple virtual machines, business applications or database instances. The integrated GPU and lack of a pre-installed operating system mean it is not intended for graphics-intensive tasks or for buyers who want a plug-and-play desktop experience. Teams requiring GPU acceleration or larger memory footprints from day one should evaluate other options.

Verify rack space and power before ordering

Confirm that your rack can accommodate a 1U form factor and that your power infrastructure supports the server's requirements. The unit weighs 60 units as listed, so ensure rails and shelving are rated accordingly. Check that your environment provides adequate cooling for a high-density 2.5-inch drive configuration. The H740P controller manages the included SSDs; review your desired RAID topology before deployment.
