Rackmount server for virtualization and databases

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server designed for business workloads such as virtualization, databases, backups and application hosting. Two Intel Xeon Platinum 8268 processors deliver 48 cores total at 2.90GHz each, providing dependable performance for multi-threaded services. With 512GB of DDR4 memory installed and support for up to 3TB, it handles multiple virtual machines and data-heavy applications. Storage drives are not included, allowing you to select capacity and drive type.

Verify rack space, power and drive selection

Confirm you have 1U of rack height and compatible rails for the included mounting hardware. The chassis accepts eight 2.5-inch drives in the front bays, so plan the quantity and type of SSDs or HDDs you will install. Ensure your rack power distribution can supply the server and that cooling airflow matches a dense 1U form factor. No operating system is pre-installed, so prepare installation media for your chosen hypervisor or OS.

Integrated controller, rails and bezel included

The H730P storage controller manages RAID arrays for the installed drives, while integrated graphics handle console output without a discrete GPU. Rack rails and a front bezel ship with the unit, simplifying installation in standard cabinets. Front-panel LEDs show power, Ethernet and USB status at a glance. The server weighs 60 units, so plan for two-person lifting or a mechanical lift when mounting.

Questions about this item

Does the R640 ship with any 2.5" drives or do I need to buy them separately?

The server includes eight 2.5" drive trays, rails and a front bezel, but no storage drives are installed. You select and purchase the drives that suit your capacity and workload needs.

Is the installed 512GB DDR4 the maximum this R640 can hold?

No. The system accepts up to 3TB of DDR4, so the 512GB fitted today leaves room to add memory as workloads grow.

What does the 48-core total mean for virtualization density on this box?

Two Xeon Platinum 8268 CPUs provide 48 cores at 2.9GHz, giving a large thread pool for running many virtual machines or containers simultaneously.
