Dense 1U dual-socket server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rack server built for dense scale-out data centre computing. It ships with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors, each running at 2.10 GHz with 24 cores and a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules and eight 2.4 TB 10K SAS hard drives.

Suits virtualization hosts; not for GPU workloads

This configuration suits organisations that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a single rack unit for virtualization, database or high-performance computing clusters. The dual 750 W redundant power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise remote management support continuous operation. Buyers who require GPU acceleration or additional PCIe expansion slots should look elsewhere, as the 1U chassis does not accommodate full-height cards.

24 DIMM slots define maximum memory

The server provides 24 DDR4 DIMM slots with a maximum supported capacity of 3 TB, so the installed 256 GB can be expanded significantly using registered ECC modules. The PERC H730P controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode for the eight 2.5-inch SAS bays. Network connectivity includes two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ ports via the X520/I350 daughter card.

Questions about this item

Will the 24-core Xeon Platinum 8160 CPUs hit thermal limits during continuous heavy workloads?

Dual 750-watt platinum power supplies and redundant hot-swap design provide cooling headroom for sustained 2.1 GHz base and 3.7 GHz turbo operation across all 24 cores per socket.

How loud are the fans when the server runs 24/7 in a rack?

Redundant 750-watt platinum power supplies and hot-swap fan modules keep acoustics managed for data-center density, even with dual 24-core processors fully loaded.

Do I need to supply my own SFP+ transceivers for the 10 GbE ports?

The Intel X520/I350 daughter card provides two 10 Gb SFP+ ports; compatible transceivers and fibre or DAC cables must be sourced separately.
