Dell PowerEdge R640 48-Core Server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 1U rackmount server built for business workloads such as virtualization, databases and application hosting. It ships with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors running at 2.1GHz, providing 48 cores total. The system includes 128GB of DDR4 memory and an integrated GPU. A PERC H730P controller manages the eight 1.2TB 10K SAS drives installed in the 2.5-inch bays.

Suited for dense virtualization and data workloads

This server suits IT teams running multiple virtual machines, heavy database instances or mixed application workloads in a single rack unit. The dual 18-core Xeon Platinum 8160 CPUs and 128GB DDR4 give strong multi-threaded throughput for consolidation projects. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or single-thread frequency above 3GHz should look elsewhere.

Eight 1.2TB SAS drives on H730P

The storage subsystem centres on eight 1.2TB 10K SAS hard drives connected through the PERC H730P RAID controller with 2GB cache. This combination delivers the capacity and redundancy profile required for operating systems, virtual machines, backups and business data. The 2.5-inch bay layout fills all eight front slots, leaving no room for additional drives inside the chassis.

Questions about this item

Does the R640 fit a standard rack and what drive size do the eight bays take?

The server is a rackmount chassis with eight 2.5-inch bays for the 1.2TB SAS drives.

How do I install the CPUs and memory, and what step is often missed?

Two Xeon Platinum 8160 processors are already installed; populate DDR4 slots evenly across both CPUs to enable all memory channels.

When will the SAS drives or controller battery need replacement?

The eight 1.2TB 10K SAS drives and the H730P controller are the components that will eventually require service or battery replacement.
