Dell PowerEdge R640 8-bay virtualization server
The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 6148 processors running at 2.40 GHz. It delivers 40 total cores and 256 GB of DDR4 memory to handle virtualization, databases and business applications. Eight 2.5-inch drive bays are populated with 600 GB 10K SAS hard drives managed by an H730P controller.
Suited for multi-VM workloads
This configuration suits organisations running multiple virtual machines, file storage or backup services that benefit from high core counts and direct-attached SAS capacity. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, more than 3 TB of memory, or a different drive interface should evaluate other platforms.
Dual 24-core Xeon Gold 6148 CPUs define capacity
The two Gold 6148 processors provide 48 threads at 2.40 GHz and set the performance ceiling for compute-intensive workloads. Memory scales to 3 TB using DDR4 modules, while the eight SAS bays and H730P controller determine storage throughput and redundancy options.

Questions about this item
What rackmount dimensions does the PowerEdge R640 8B SFF chassis require?
The server is a rackmount type weighing 60 units and uses 2.5-inch drive bays; confirm your rack depth and rail kit compatibility before installation.
How are the two Xeon Gold 6148 processors and DDR4 memory installed, and what step is often missed?
Both LGA3647 sockets are populated with 24-core CPUs at 2.40GHz; ensure each processor has matched DDR4 DIMMs across all channels for full 256GB operation.
What drive maintenance does the 8-bay SAS configuration with H730P controller need over time?
Eight 600GB 10K SAS drives connect to the H730P; monitor SMART health, rebuild arrays after any drive failure, and keep controller firmware current.
