Rack server for virtualization workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R640 8B SFF is a rackmount server system built for business workloads such as file storage, virtualization, databases, backups and application hosting. Two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors deliver 48 cores at 2.10GHz each for dependable performance. 256GB DDR4 memory supports multiple services, virtual machines and data-heavy business applications.

Suited for dense virtualization; not for GPU compute

This configuration suits organisations that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a 1U rack form factor for virtualised environments. Buyers who require dedicated GPU acceleration for AI training, rendering or high-performance computing should look at platforms with PCIe GPU support. The integrated graphics only cover basic display output.

Fits standard racks with SAS storage ready

The server occupies a single rack unit and provides eight 2.5-inch drive bays populated with 1.2TB 10K SAS drives connected through an H730P storage controller. An X550-T4 quad-port 10GbE adapter handles network connectivity. DDR4 memory slots remain available up to the 3TB maximum for future expansion. Power supplies and rails are required to complete the installation.

Questions about this item

What power supply and rack rails must I already have to install this 60 kg R640 server?

The server requires a compatible Dell PowerEdge R640 redundant power supply and matching sliding rack rails, neither of which are included with the chassis.

Can I keep my existing 12 Gb/s SAS drives and H730P controller when adding this R640 to the same array?

Yes, the installed H730P controller and 12 Gb/s SAS backplane work with existing 12 Gb/s SAS drives, allowing them to join the same virtual disks.

How do I verify the dual Xeon Platinum 8160 CPUs and 256 GB DDR4 are recognised after first boot?

Enter the BIOS or iDRAC interface; the System Information screen will show two CPUs, 48 total cores, 2.10 GHz speed, and 256 GB DDR4 memory.
