Dense compute platform

The Dell PowerEdge R640 delivers 48 cores across two Xeon Platinum 8268 processors at 2.90GHz. It targets organisations running virtualisation clusters, database instances or heavy application workloads in a 2.5-inch bay chassis.

Storage controller and drives

An H730P controller manages eight 1.2TB 10K SAS drives connected at 12GB/s. The array is pre-configured so the server can host operating systems, virtual machines and backups immediately after power-on.

Rack-ready construction

Front LEDs show power, Ethernet and USB status at a glance. The 60kg unit fits a standard rack and supports up to 3TB of DDR4 memory when workloads grow beyond the installed 512GB.

Questions about this item

What drive replacements will the 2.5" SAS bays need over time?

The eight 2.5-inch bays accept 1.2TB 10K SAS drives; replacements must match that form factor and interface.

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

With 48 total cores at 2.9GHz and a 3TB DDR4 ceiling, memory capacity typically saturates before compute throughput.

How much heat and power should I expect from this 60-weight rack unit running all day?

Dual 20-core Platinum 8268 processors and eight 10K SAS drives produce substantial heat; plan for adequate rack airflow and redundant power circuits.
