Rackmount server with dual Xeon Platinum 8268 CPUs

This 1U rackmount system ships with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8268 processors running at 2.90GHz, delivering 48 cores total. It includes 256GB of DDR4 memory and eight 1TB SATA SSDs managed by an H730P controller. The unit is new and built for business workloads such as virtualization, databases, file storage and application hosting.

Suited for dense virtualization

The 48-core configuration and 256GB DDR4 suit environments running many virtual machines or containers alongside local data. Eight 2.5-inch drive bays filled with SATA SSDs provide capacity for operating systems, backups and business databases. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or single-thread frequency above 2.90GHz should look elsewhere. The integrated graphics and LGA2066 socket limit expansion options for specialised compute cards.

48 cores at 2.90GHz with 256GB DDR4

The dual Platinum 8268 processors give 48 cores at a base speed of 2.90GHz, paired with 256GB of DDR4 memory. This core count and memory size are the primary factors that determine whether the server can handle the intended virtualization density and database workloads.

Questions about this item

What operating system do I need to supply for the PowerEdge R640?

The server ships without an operating system so you must provide and install one yourself.

Can the existing H730P controller manage the eight 1 TB SATA SSDs installed in the 2.5-inch bays?

Yes the H730P controller supports the eight 1 TB SATA SSDs and handles RAID configuration for them.

Which front-panel LEDs confirm the R640 is running normally after power-on?

The Power, Ethernet and USB LEDs indicate the system is on, network links are active and USB devices are detected.
