Dell PowerEdge R640 48-core rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server equipped with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8268 processors running at 2.90GHz. It delivers 48 total cores for virtualization, databases, file storage and application hosting. The system includes 128GB of DDR4 memory and eight 1.2TB 10K SAS drives managed by an H730P controller. Front-panel LEDs show power, Ethernet and USB status.

Installation notes and common issues

The unit ships with BIOS configured, controllers set up and a RAID array built if applicable. Drivers are updated and an operating system can be installed on request. Technicians run full diagnostics before dispatch. The server weighs 60 units, so two-person handling or a lift is recommended when sliding it into a rack. No operating system is included by default.

Pre-order checks for your environment

Verify that your rack accepts a 1U form factor and provides enough depth for the chassis. Confirm the power distribution units can supply the required connectors for dual-processor operation. Ensure your network infrastructure supports the onboard Ethernet interfaces. The LGA3647 socket and DDR4 memory slots are fully populated, so further CPU or memory upgrades are limited to the second processor socket and remaining DIMM slots up to 3TB total capacity.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the two Xeon 8268 processors are running at 2.9GHz after setup?

Enter the BIOS on boot and verify each CPU shows 2.90GHz core speed and 12 cores per socket for 48 total cores.

What components ship with the R640 and what must I source separately?

The server includes 2x Xeon 8268 CPUs, 128GB DDR4, H730P controller, and 8x 1.2TB SAS drives in the 2.5" bays; an operating system is not included.

Which R640 version should I choose for maximum virtualization density?

Select the 48-core Platinum 8268 configuration with 128GB DDR4 and 8x 1.2TB SAS drives to support the highest VM count within the 3TB memory ceiling.
