40-Core Dual Xeon Rack Server
The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server built for virtualization, databases and application hosting. Two Intel Xeon Gold 6148 processors deliver 40 cores at 2.4 GHz to handle multi-threaded workloads. It is suited for IT teams that need dense compute in a single rack unit.
H730P Controller with Eight SAS Drives
Eight 2.5-inch bays are populated with 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives connected through a 12 Gb/s H730P RAID controller. The controller streamlines array configuration and daily storage management. Front-panel LEDs show power, Ethernet and USB status for quick health checks.
512 GB DDR4 Ready for Expansion
The system ships with 512 GB of DDR4 memory installed and supports up to 3 TB total. No operating system is included, so administrators can deploy their preferred hypervisor or OS. Integrated graphics handle console output without occupying a PCIe slot.
