Dense virtualisation server
The Dell PowerEdge R640 10B packs two Xeon Platinum 8160 CPUs running at 2.1GHz, giving 48 cores for heavy virtualisation, database and file-serving workloads. 256GB of DDR4 memory is installed, expandable to 3TB. Integrated graphics handle basic display needs without a discrete GPU.
Straightforward rack install
The 2.5-inch drive bays and H730P controller are pre-cabled, so adding the ten 600GB SAS drives is a simple slide-and-lock action. Common issues are forgetting to seat the memory risers fully and skipping the controller firmware update before creating virtual disks.
Check power and rack depth
Verify your rack can supply dual redundant power feeds and that the mounting rails fit your cabinet depth. Confirm the operating-system licence you plan to use, because none is included. Ensure your backup software supports the H730P RAID feature set.

Questions about this item
How can I verify the server is running correctly after installation?
Check that the front-panel Power LED is solid green, both Ethernet link LEDs show activity, and the H730P controller BIOS reports all ten 600 GB SAS drives as online during POST.
What ships with the R640 and what must I source separately?
The unit includes the 2U chassis, two Xeon Platinum 8160 CPUs, 256 GB DDR4 memory, H730P controller, ten 600 GB 2.5-inch SAS drives, and rack rails. An operating system is not included.
Which memory capacity should I choose for this configuration?
The system arrives with 256 GB DDR4 installed and supports up to 3 TB; select the 256 GB option for immediate virtualization workloads or plan additional DDR4 modules if you need more capacity.
