Dense 1U dual-socket server for scale-out workloads

The PowerEdge R640 packs two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors, each with 24 cores at 2.1 GHz and a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency, into a single rack unit. With 256 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules, it targets virtualisation clusters, hyper-converged infrastructure and database tiers that demand high core density in minimal space. The platform supports up to 3 TB of memory across 24 slots for future growth.

Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies

Dual hot-swap 750 watt platinum-efficiency power supplies provide full redundancy while the 1U chassis airflow design handles the thermal load of both 24-core CPUs and eight solid-state drives under sustained utilisation. The PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache and battery-backed write-back caching manages storage I/O without adding discrete components that increase power draw or acoustic output.

Eight 800 GB enterprise SSDs

The server ships with eight Dell enterprise 800 GB SATA 6 Gb/s 2.5-inch SSDs connected to the H730P controller, which supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes. An Intel X520/I350 daughter card adds two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports for flexible network topology, while iDRAC 9 Enterprise enables full out-of-band remote management. ReadyRails and a front bezel are included for immediate rack mounting.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 2.5-inch 800GB SATA SSDs into the 8-bay front chassis, and what step is often missed?

Slide each drive into a bay until the latch clicks; the step often missed is configuring the virtual disk in the PERC H730P BIOS before the OS sees the array.

Which components will need replacement first under continuous operation?

The two 750W platinum power supplies and the PERC H730P controller battery are the primary field-replaceable units that degrade with 24/7 duty cycles.

What thermal or power limit appears first when both Xeon 8160 CPUs run at 3.7GHz turbo across all 24 cores?

The 750W redundant PSU rating caps total system draw, so sustained all-core turbo on both sockets will hit the power budget before thermal throttling engages.
