Rackmount 48-Core Virtualisation Server

This Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server built for business workloads such as file storage, virtualisation, databases, backups and application hosting. Two Intel Xeon Platinum 8168 processors deliver 48 cores at 2.70GHz on LGA2066 sockets. The system ships with 128GB of DDR4 memory and an H740P storage controller, plus a front bezel for a complete rack-ready configuration.

Suited For Multi-Service Deployments Not

The 48-core design and 128GB DDR4 capacity suit environments running multiple virtual machines, container clusters or database instances that benefit from high thread counts. Buyers who need more than eight 2.5-inch drive bays or who require dedicated GPU acceleration for compute workloads should evaluate alternative platforms. The integrated graphics subsystem covers basic management display needs only.

128GB DDR4 Expandable To 3TB Eight Hot-Swap Bays

Memory scales from the installed 128GB up to a maximum of 3TB DDR4, giving headroom for memory-intensive applications and larger VM densities. Storage is provided through eight hot-swap 2.5-inch trays; drives are not included so you can select SSD or HDD capacity to match performance and budget targets. The H740P controller supports hardware RAID across the full bay population.

Questions about this item

What 2.5-inch drives do I need to populate the eight front bays?

The chassis has eight 2.5-inch bays; you supply the SSDs or HDDs that match your capacity and performance targets.

Will my existing DDR4 RDIMMs work alongside the installed 128GB?

Yes, the system uses DDR4 memory and supports up to 3TB total, so compatible DDR4 modules can be added to the open slots.

How can I confirm the dual Xeon Platinum 8168 CPUs are recognised after power-on?

The front-panel power LED will stay solid green and the BIOS POST screen will show both 6-core processors at 2.70GHz.
