PowerEdge R640 2U Rack Server
The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 2U rackmount server built for business workloads such as virtualization, databases, file storage, backups and application hosting. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6154 processors running at 3.0GHz, providing 36 total cores for demanding compute tasks. The system includes 128GB of DDR4 memory and an integrated GPU for basic display output.
Suited For Virtualization And Database Hosting
This configuration suits IT teams running multiple virtual machines, business applications or data-heavy services that benefit from high core counts and large memory capacity. The eight 2.5-inch drive bays populated with 600GB 10K SAS drives and an H730P controller deliver fast local storage for operating systems and active datasets. Buyers who require dedicated GPU compute, more than eight drive bays, or a non-rackmount chassis should evaluate different platforms.
Dual Xeon Gold 6154 36-Core Configuration
The defining specification is the dual-socket design with two Xeon Gold 6154 CPUs, each offering 24 cores at 3.0GHz for a combined 36-core count. This processor choice determines the server's ability to handle concurrent virtual machines, database threads and multi-threaded applications. The LGA3647 socket and maximum memory capacity of 3TB DDR4 define the upgrade ceiling for future expansion.

Questions about this item
Will the 24-core Xeon Gold 6154 processors work with my existing LGA3647 socket motherboard?
Each Xeon Gold 6154 uses the LGA3647 socket, so it fits motherboards designed for that socket. The R640 supports up to two processors and both sockets are populated in this configuration.
How can I confirm the H730P controller and X710 network adapter are functioning after installation?
During POST the H730P BIOS will list the eight 600 GB SAS drives and any configured virtual disks, while the X710 ports show link LEDs on the front panel when connected to a live network.
Which items are included and which must be sourced separately?
The server arrives with two Xeon Gold 6154 CPUs, 128 GB DDR4 memory, eight 600 GB 10K SAS drives, the H730P RAID controller and the X710 quad-port adapter. Operating system licences and rack rails are not included.
