Dual-socket virtualisation server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server built for business workloads such as virtualisation, databases, backups and application hosting. Two Intel Xeon Gold 6234 processors running at 3.30 GHz deliver 36 total cores for multi-threaded throughput. The system ships with 32 GB of DDR4 memory and a front bezel plus rails for immediate rack installation.

Sustained load behaviour

Dual 1100 W power supplies provide redundant power for continuous operation in dense racks. The H330 storage controller manages four 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives across ten 2.5-inch bays, keeping I/O consistent for virtual machines and data-heavy applications. Integrated Broadcom BCM5720 networking and iDRAC Enterprise remote management maintain uptime without operator presence.

Deciding specification

The server supports a maximum of 3 TB DDR4 memory across two LGA3647 sockets, so buyers who need more memory capacity or additional processor sockets must choose a different platform. The ten-bay 2.5-inch chassis also limits total drive count compared with larger form factors. Integrated graphics and no operating system are included.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the R640 run with two 1100W supplies under constant load?

Dual 1100W redundant power supplies share the load, so each unit runs at lower utilisation, keeping fan speeds and heat output moderate during sustained operation.

Which components must I already have to make the second processor socket active?

A second Xeon Gold 6234 processor and its dedicated heatsink are required; the socket and power infrastructure are already present.

Will my existing 2.5-inch SAS drives work in the remaining six bays alongside the four 1.2TB 10K drives?

Yes, the 10-bay 2.5-inch backplane accepts any 2.5-inch SAS drive, so older SAS drives can fill the empty slots without compatibility issues.
