Dell PowerEdge R640 28-core rack server
The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server system built for business workloads such as virtualization, databases, file storage and application hosting. Two Intel Xeon Gold 6132 processors deliver 28 cores at 2.6GHz, supported by 128GB of DDR4 memory. Eight 2.5-inch drive bays hold 1.2TB 10K SAS drives managed by an H730P controller.
Suits virtualization hosts and database nodes.
This configuration suits organisations that need dense CPU capacity and SAS storage for virtual machines, backup targets or line-of-business applications. The integrated GPU and lack of dedicated accelerator slots mean it does not serve workloads requiring GPU compute or high single-thread frequency. Buyers needing more than two processors or memory beyond 3TB should evaluate larger platforms.
28 cores at 2.6GHz from dual Xeon Gold 6132 CPUs
The defining specification is the dual-socket Xeon Gold 6132 arrangement providing 28 total cores at 2.60GHz on LGA3647 sockets. This core count and clock speed determine whether the server matches the threading demands of your virtualization or database layer.

Questions about this item
What rack depth does the 1U PowerEdge R640 chassis require?
The server is a standard 1U rackmount unit; ensure your cabinet provides enough depth for the 60 kg chassis and rear cable clearance.
Which steps are needed to get the H730P controller and X550-T4 ports operational after mounting?
Seat both Xeon Gold 6132 CPUs in the LGA3647 sockets, populate DDR4 DIMMs, cable the eight 2.5" SAS drives to the H730P, then run the BIOS and controller configuration utilities before installing an OS.
What drive replacements does the 8-bay SAS backplane support for future capacity changes?
The backplane accepts 2.5-inch 12 Gb/s SAS HDDs or SSDs; the H730P RAID controller manages the new drives once they are inserted and the array is rebuilt.
