Dell R640 1U rack server silver front panel with drive bays and rails

DELL

DELL R640 rack server 2x Xeon Platinum 8168 1TB DDR4 2x 240GB 2x 1.92TB U.2 2x E810 W/Rails

SKU CH-XBWB-YB3A3

A 1U rack server with dual 14-core Xeon Platinum 8168 CPUs at 2.70 GHz, 1 TB DDR4, two 240 GB boot drives, two 1.92 TB U.2 NVMe drives, dual E810 network adapters and rails included

Built for virtualization and databases

This Dell R640 rack server targets organisations that run multiple virtual machines, host databases or need a dense platform for business applications. Two Xeon Platinum 8168 processors and 1TB of DDR4 memory give the headroom for heavy concurrent workloads.

U.2 bays capped at ten drives

The chassis holds ten 2.5-inch bays, eight of which support NVMe U.2 devices. That ceiling limits total flash capacity and means storage expansion stops once the bays are full, so plan the dataset size before deployment.

Replaces older 2-socket 1U servers

Teams moving from earlier dual-socket 1U boxes gain the 14-core Platinum 8168 at 2.70GHz, the larger 1TB memory ceiling and dual E810 network adapters. The jump is worthwhile when current nodes hit CPU or memory saturation during peak virtualization demand.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 240 GB or 1.92 TB U.2 drives for the boot volume?

The 240 GB pair is intended for the operating system and the 1.92 TB NVMe pair for virtual machines and data.

What does 1 TB DDR4 mean for the number of virtual machines I can run?

1 TB DDR4 supports many concurrent virtual machines and memory-heavy databases on the dual Xeon Platinum 8168 CPUs.

Are the E810 adapters limited by the PCIe generation of the R640?

The dual E810 network adapters connect through the server PCIe lanes and deliver line-rate throughput for virtualization traffic.
