Dual 20-core Xeon Gold 6132 platform
The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 6132 processors running at 2.6GHz. Each CPU delivers 20 cores for a total of 40 cores and 28 threads per socket. The system ships with 128GB of DDR4 memory installed and supports up to 3TB maximum capacity. It targets organisations running virtualisation, databases, file storage or application hosting workloads.
H730P controller and eight SATA SSDs
Eight new 1TB SATA SSDs populate the 2.5-inch drive bays behind an H730P storage controller. The controller simplifies array configuration and ongoing management of the solid-state storage. Integrated graphics handle video output without a discrete GPU. The X550-T4 network adapter provides four Ethernet ports for connectivity. Front-panel LEDs indicate power, Ethernet and USB status.
BIOS, drivers and OS-ready configuration
Technicians configure the BIOS, storage controllers and driver stack before the server leaves the facility. If drives are present, a RAID array is built during this process. An operating system can be installed and validated on request. The unit arrives with all relevant accessories in a generic box, allowing immediate deployment in a rack environment without additional setup steps.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 2.5" SATA SSDs into the 8-bay front chassis and which step is commonly missed?
Slide each 1TB SSD into a front bay until the carrier clicks, then create the virtual disk in the H730P controller BIOS before installing an OS; skipping the array build leaves the drives invisible to the installer.
What maintenance or replacement will the 128GB DDR4 memory need later?
The DDR4 RDIMMs are rated for continuous operation; plan to replace a module only if ECC logs report correctable errors rising or a DIMM fails POST.
What limit appears first when both Xeon Gold 6132 CPUs run sustained workloads?
The 60-unit chassis weight reflects dense component packing, so thermal headroom in a 1U rack space typically caps sustained turbo before power draw does.
