Dell PowerEdge R640 8-Bay Virtualization Server

This 1U rackmount system ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6148 processors running at 2.40GHz, delivering 40 total cores for multi-threaded workloads. It includes 128GB of DDR4 memory and eight 1.2TB 10K SAS drives managed by an H730P controller, making it ready for virtualization, databases or file storage.

Suits virtualization hosts needing dense compute

Buyers who require GPU acceleration, more than two processor sockets or drive bays beyond the eight 2.5-inch slots should evaluate alternative chassis designs that support those requirements. The integrated graphics and fixed two-socket limit also rule out GPU-heavy rendering or AI training tasks.

Eight 2.5-inch SAS bays with H730P RAID

The front panel holds exactly eight 2.5-inch bays populated with 1.2TB 10K SAS drives connected to the H730P controller. This bay count and interface determine how many drives you can install and which drive types are compatible without adding external enclosures.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the 40-core Xeon Gold 6148 processors and 128GB DDR4 memory are recognised after first boot?

Enter the BIOS or iDRAC interface; both will show two Gold 6148 CPUs at 2.40GHz with 18 cores each and the full 128GB DDR4 installed.

What ships inside the rackmount chassis and what must I source separately?

The unit includes the R640 chassis, dual Xeon Gold 6148 CPUs, 128GB DDR4, H730P controller, X710 network adapter, and eight 1.2TB 10K SAS drives in the eight 2.5-inch bays; rails, operating system and any extra memory up to 3TB are not included.

Which storage controller version is fitted and why does it matter for the 1.2TB SAS drives?

The H730P RAID controller is installed, providing hardware RAID for the eight 1.2TB 10K SAS drives and simplifying array configuration during setup.
