Dual Xeon Platinum 8168 Server
The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server built around two Intel Xeon Platinum 8168 processors. Each CPU delivers 24 cores running at 2.70 GHz on the LGA3647 socket. The system ships with 128 GB of DDR4 memory installed and supports up to 3 TB total capacity. An integrated GPU handles basic display output.
Virtualisation and Database Hosts
This configuration suits organisations running hypervisors, database clusters or application tiers that benefit from high core counts and large memory pools. The H740P controller and eight 2.5-inch drive bays provide flexible local storage options. Buyers who need GPU acceleration for AI training or rendering should evaluate platforms with dedicated accelerator support instead.
Eight 10 Gbps SFP Ports
Network connectivity centres on eight Broadcom 10 Gbps SFP interfaces for high-throughput east-west traffic. The chassis includes rack rails and a front bezel for immediate deployment. Remote management is handled through iDRAC9 Enterprise for out-of-band monitoring and control. The unit weighs 60 kg.

Questions about this item
Does the Dell PowerEdge R640 include the 2.5-inch drives needed to use the eight bays?
The eight 2.5-inch bays are empty, so you must supply your own drives to create a storage array.
Will my existing DDR4 memory modules work alongside the installed 128 GB in this server?
The system uses DDR4 memory and supports up to 3 TB total, so compatible DDR4 modules can be added to the existing 128 GB.
How can I verify the H740P controller and dual Xeon Platinum 8168 CPUs are recognised after installation?
Check the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface or the BIOS POST screen to confirm both processors and the H740P controller appear without errors.
