Dense Virtualisation Server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server built for dense compute workloads. Two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors deliver 48 cores at 2.1GHz, supported by 256GB of DDR4 memory. Ten 2.5-inch bays hold 1TB SATA SSDs for operating systems, applications and virtual machines. Integrated graphics and X540/I350 networking complete the platform.

Ideal for Consolidation, Not for GPU Work

This system suits IT teams consolidating virtual machines, databases or backup targets in a standard rack. Buyers who need dedicated graphics acceleration, more than two processor sockets, or storage interfaces beyond SATA should evaluate alternative platforms. The fixed 10-bay chassis also limits internal drive expansion beyond the installed devices.

48 Cores at 2.1GHz Decide Fit

The dual Xeon Platinum 8160 configuration provides 48 cores running at 2.1GHz, which is the primary determinant for licensing, threading capacity and per-core performance. Memory scales to 3TB DDR4 if workloads grow, but the processor count is capped at two. Match this core count and clock to your virtualisation density or database licensing model before purchase.

Questions about this item

What rack and rails are needed to mount the R640 10B server?

The server is a rack-mount unit weighing 60 kg; you will need a standard equipment rack and a compatible rail kit rated for that weight.

Can the existing 10x 1TB SATA drives stay in place if I add more storage later?

The chassis provides 10 x 2.5-inch bays, all occupied by the installed SATA SSDs; any additional drives would require external storage or a chassis change.

How can I confirm both Xeon Platinum 8160 processors and all 256GB DDR4 are detected after power-on?

During POST the system BIOS will list both CPUs with 18 cores each at 2.10GHz and show 256GB of DDR4 memory; the front-panel LEDs will display solid power and network activity.
