Dense 1U Dual-Socket Server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server fitted with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 24 cores. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across four 16 GB modules. A PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache manages the two 300 GB 10K SAS drives installed in the eight-bay 2.5-inch chassis. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise complete the package.

Suits Virtualisation Hosts, Not GPU Workloads

This configuration suits organisations consolidating virtual machines or running memory-intensive databases in a space-constrained rack. The dual 24-core CPUs and 24 DIMM slots allow growth to 3 TB of DDR4 when licences demand it. Buyers who require GPU compute, more than eight front drive bays or a different drive interface should evaluate alternative platforms.

Eight-Bay 2.5-Inch Chassis Limits Internal Storage

The single specification that decides fit is the eight-bay 2.5-inch drive cage paired with the H730P SAS controller. It accepts SAS or SATA drives but cannot accommodate 3.5-inch disks or additional bay counts. If the deployment needs more internal slots or a different form factor, this chassis will not meet the requirement.

Questions about this item

What maintenance will the PERC H730P controller battery need?

The PERC H730P includes a 2GB cache backed by a battery that preserves write data during power loss. Battery life depends on charge cycles and temperature; Dell recommends checking status via iDRAC9 Enterprise and replacing the battery when the controller reports degraded health.

Which limit appears first when both Xeon Platinum 8160 CPUs run at full load continuously?

With two 24-core processors at 2.1GHz base and 3.7GHz turbo, the 750W platinum power supplies set the thermal and electrical ceiling. Sustained all-core turbo can push total draw toward the redundant supply rating, so power budget becomes the first bottleneck.

How loud and hot does the 1U chassis get with dual 750W supplies running 24/7?

Dual redundant 750W platinum supplies and high-core-count CPUs generate significant heat in a 1U form factor. Fans ramp to maintain safe inlet temperatures, producing noticeable airflow noise typical of dense rack servers under continuous load.
