The PowerEdge R640 is Dell’s 14th-generation 1U two-socket rack server — the go-to platform for dense data centre deployments where performance per rack unit matters. This unit comes pre-fitted with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8176 processors: each is a 28-core, 56-thread Skylake-SP CPU running at 2.1GHz with a 3.8GHz Turbo Boost ceiling and a 38.5MB L3 cache. Combined, you’re working with 56 physical cores and 112 threads from the factory — a serious foundation for virtualisation hosts, HPC workloads, and large database deployments.

The 10 x 2.5″ SFF hot-swap backplane supports SAS, SATA, and — depending on the backplane variant fitted — NVMe drives, giving you flexibility in how you build out storage. Dual redundant 750W PSUs are installed, providing hot-swap power redundancy out of the box.

Memory and Storage — Your Choice

The R640 has 24 DDR4 memory slots — 12 per processor — supporting a maximum of 3TB of RAM. This unit ships with all 24 slots empty, so you select the capacity, speed, and DIMM type that suits your workload and budget. A RAID controller will be required to make use of the drive bays — compatible options include the PERC H330, H730P, and H740P.

Management

Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 with Lifecycle Controller, providing out-of-band access for remote console, power management, firmware updates, and server provisioning. QuickSync 2 is supported for mobile-based management access. The R640 integrates with Dell OpenManage Enterprise for centralised multi-server management.

No RAM included — 24 x DDR4 DIMM slots (12 per CPU), max 3TB. ECC RDIMMs or LRDIMMs required.

No drives included — 10 x 2.5″ hot-swap SFF bays. SAS/SATA supported; NVMe support depends on the backplane variant fitted — verify before purchasing NVMe drives.

No OS included — compatible with Windows Server, RHEL, VMware ESXi, and other supported platforms.

No bezel included — front bezel must be sourced separately if required.

165W TDP per processor — confirm your rack power budget and cooling capacity before deployment. Two CPUs at full load draw substantial power.

Antec’s new generation of Atom power supplies is crafted for quality, efficiency, and performance. At 750W, the ATOM V750 gives you comfortable overhead for a mid-range discrete GPU paired with a modern multi-core CPU — making it well-suited to gaming rigs, content creation machines, and productive workstations that need dependable, sustained power delivery. It is compliant with Intel ATX 12V Ver2.31 standards for broad system compatibility.

Quiet Operation with Thermal Manager

The 120mm silent fan is designed for quiet computing and built for longer life, guaranteeing hours of reliable operation. Thermal Manager provides advanced fan speed control for optimal heat and noise management — staying near-silent at lower loads and only ramping up when your system truly needs the airflow.

CircuitShield Industrial-Grade Protection

CircuitShield covers industrial-grade protections including OPP (over-power), OVP (over-voltage), UVP (under-voltage), and SCP (short-circuit), keeping your components safe from electrical faults whether you’re gaming at full tilt or leaving the machine running overnight.

Note for buyers: With two PCIe connectors, the ATOM V750 comfortably supports a single mid-range GPU. It is not recommended for high-end GPUs requiring three or more PCIe power connections.

Connector Layout

The non-modular cable harness covers a broad range of mainstream and mid-range configurations:

• 1× 24-pin ATX motherboard connector
• 2× 8(4+4)-pin EPS 12V CPU connectors
