Dual Xeon Platinum 8160 Server
The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server built for compute-dense workloads. Two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors run at 2.1GHz with 24 cores each. Thirty-two gigabytes of DDR4 ECC registered memory are installed across two 16GB modules. The chassis provides four 3.5-inch drive bays and includes a PERC H740P RAID controller. Integrated graphics and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management are standard. Two 750W power supplies deliver redundant power.
Suited for virtualisation and database hosts
This configuration suits organisations that need high core counts in a single rack unit. The four 3.5-inch bays limit internal storage density, so buyers who want more drive slots should look at a different chassis. Workloads that require GPU acceleration will not be served by the integrated graphics. The fixed 32GB memory may restrict very large in-memory datasets unless additional modules are added.
PERC H740P RAID controller
The installed Dell PERC H740P controller manages the SATA drives in the four 3.5-inch bays and provides hardware RAID with cache protection. It defines which drive types and RAID levels are supported, making it the specification that determines storage compatibility for this server.

Questions about this item
What rack depth does the 36 x 24 x 10 in chassis require?
The server measures 36 inches deep so the rack must provide at least that much clear depth for the unit to seat fully.
Which cable connects the PERC H740P controller to the four 3.5 in drive bays?
The controller uses SATA cables that plug into each of the four 3.5 inch bays; the step often missed is routing each cable through the chassis clip so the latch cannot vibrate loose.
When should the 32 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory be expanded?
Add modules when workloads exceed the installed 32 GB; the system supports up to 7.68 TB using DDR4 ECC registered DIMMs.
