Dell PowerEdge R640 48-Core Server

The Dell PowerEdge R640 is a 2U rackmount server system designed for business workloads including virtualization, databases, and application hosting. It operates with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8268 processors, each providing 24 cores at 2.90GHz for a total of 48 cores. The system includes 256GB of DDR4 memory and an integrated GPU. It ships without an operating system and includes the H730P storage controller, rack rails, and front bezel.

Suited for virtualization

This configuration suits organizations running multiple virtual machines, data-heavy applications, or database workloads that benefit from high core counts and large memory capacity. The eight 2.5-inch drive bays allow flexible storage choices using the H730P controller. Buyers who need GPU-accelerated compute or workloads requiring discrete graphics cards should evaluate other platforms. The integrated GPU limits graphical processing to basic display output only.

48-core Xeon Platinum 8268 processor count

The dual Xeon Platinum 8268 configuration delivers 48 total cores at 2.90GHz, which determines the server's parallel processing capacity for virtualization and multi-threaded applications. Each processor uses the LGA3647 socket and the system supports a maximum of two processors. This core count is the primary factor for sizing virtual machine density and licensing costs. The 256GB DDR4 memory complements the processor capability for memory-intensive workloads.

Questions about this item

What rack-mount depth and rail kit does the PowerEdge R640 require for installation?

The server is a 1U rack-mount unit that ships with the manufacturer’s sliding rail kit and front bezel for standard four-post racks.

Which step is often missed when seating the H730P controller and memory during initial setup?

The H730P RAID controller must be fully seated in its dedicated internal slot and all 256 GB of DDR4 modules locked into the CPU memory channels before the first BIOS configuration.

How many 2.5-inch drive bays are available for future storage expansion or drive replacement?

The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch hot-swap bays, all empty, so drives can be added or swapped without removing the server from the rack.
