Dell PowerEdge R640 48-Core Server

This new Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server built for business workloads such as virtualization, databases, file storage, backups and application hosting. Dual Intel Xeon Platinum 8268 processors deliver 48 total cores at 2.90 GHz. 512 GB of DDR4 memory supports multiple virtual machines and data-heavy applications. The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch drive bays; drives are not included. An H730P storage controller, rack rails and front bezel are included for a rack-ready configuration.

Ideal for virtualization and multi-service hosts

Organisations consolidating workloads onto fewer physical nodes will benefit from the high core count and large memory capacity. The eight-bay chassis suits deployments needing local storage flexibility. Buyers who need more than two processor sockets or memory beyond 3 TB should evaluate larger platforms. Environments requiring dedicated GPU acceleration for compute or graphics workloads are not addressed by the integrated graphics.

Dual Xeon Platinum 8268 at 2.90 GHz

The two Platinum 8268 CPUs each provide 24 cores, giving 48 cores total at a base frequency of 2.90 GHz in LGA3647 sockets. This processor configuration determines the server's throughput for virtualization, database and application hosting tasks. Memory runs as DDR4 with a maximum platform capacity of 3 TB. The H730P controller manages the eight 2.5-inch bays for the storage layout you choose.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 2.5-inch drives into the eight front bays, and what step is often missed?

Slide each drive into a tray until it clicks, then insert the tray into the bay until the latch engages; the step often missed is securing the latch fully so the drive seats on the backplane.

Which components will need replacement first during long-term operation?

The cooling fans and the H730P controller cache battery are the typical wear items; DDR4 memory modules and the Xeon processors rarely require replacement under normal use.

What thermal limit appears first when the dual Xeon Platinum 8268 CPUs run sustained workloads?

The CPU package temperature reaches its throttle point before the chassis inlet limit, so adequate airflow through the 1U rack space is the primary constraint.
