Dell PowerEdge T640 Tower Server — Product Datasheet

Product Overview

The Dell PowerEdge T640 is a dual-socket, 5U rackable tower server designed for small to medium businesses and remote offices that require enterprise-class performance in a flexible, expandable form factor. It supports up to two Intel Xeon Scalable processors with up to 28 cores each, delivering substantial compute power for demanding workloads such as business intelligence, ERP, and high-performance computing.

The T640 offers exceptional internal storage capacity, accommodating up to 32 x 2.5-inch or 18 x 3.5-inch drives, with support for up to 8 NVMe drives for high-speed data access. With 24 DDR4 DIMM slots, the system supports up to 3TB of memory, enabling memory-intensive applications to run efficiently. The server features up to nine PCIe Gen3 expansion slots (including a dedicated internal PERC slot) and supports up to four 300W GPUs or eight 150W GPUs, making it suitable for virtualization, VDI, and GPU-accelerated workloads.

The T640 is built for versatility, available in both tower and rack configurations, with hot-swappable power supplies and fans for enhanced reliability and serviceability.
