Ready for virtualization workloads
The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server built for business workloads such as virtualization, databases, file storage, backups, and application hosting. Two Intel Xeon Gold 6132 processors deliver 28 cores at 2.6GHz to handle multiple services and virtual machines. 256GB of DDR4 memory supports data-heavy business applications. Eight 2.5-inch drive bays come populated with 1.2TB 10K SAS drives.
Dual Xeon Gold 6132 configuration
The system ships with two Xeon Gold 6132 CPUs already installed, providing 18 cores each for a total of 28 cores running at 2.60GHz. The LGA3647 sockets are fully populated, so no further processor upgrades are possible. This fixed CPU configuration decides whether the server matches the compute density your workload requires.
H730P controller and CX422A networking
An integrated H730P storage controller manages the eight SAS drives and simplifies array setup and daily management. A CX422A network adapter provides connectivity for rack deployment. The chassis weighs 60 units and uses integrated graphics, so no discrete GPU can be added. The memory capacity can scale to 3TB when workloads grow beyond the installed 256GB.

Questions about this item
What does the 28-core total mean for virtualization density?
Two Xeon Gold 6132 CPUs each deliver 18 cores at 2.6 GHz, giving 36 threads per socket so a single 1U server can host many virtual machines without CPU contention.
How does the SAS 12 Gbit/s interface limit drive throughput?
The H730P controller and eight 1.2 TB SAS drives run at 12 Gbit/s, so each drive tops out at that link speed rather than the slower 6 Gbit/s ceiling.
What rack depth and rails does the 1U chassis require?
The R640 1U rackmount body weighs 60 kg and fits a standard four-post rack using Dell sliding rails; verify your cabinet depth before ordering.
