Key Features

Versatile compute power in a modular infrastructure

The Dell PowerEdge FC640 is a high-density, half-width compute node designed for the FX2 chassis, offering exceptional performance and flexibility for demanding virtualization, cloud, and enterprise workloads.

Equipped with up to two Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors and 16 DIMM slots supporting up to 2TB of memory, the FC640 delivers balanced compute and memory resources for mission-critical applications.

The FX2 architecture enables shared power, cooling, and networking resources across compute nodes, reducing infrastructure complexity and total cost of ownership.

With support for multiple storage types and flexible I/O configurations, the FC640 adapts easily to changing data center demands.

Enterprise-grade security and infrastructure resiliency

The FC640 is built on Dell’s cyber-resilient architecture, including Secure Boot, silicon root of trust, and cryptographically signed firmware to prevent unauthorized changes and system compromise.

TPM 2.0, System Lockdown, and Secure Erase features support strong data protection and simplify secure system decommissioning.

BIOS recovery and firmware redundancy provide added assurance for uptime and recovery in the event of corruption or attack.

Dell’s trusted supply chain ensures component integrity from manufacturing through deployment, supporting enterprise compliance requirements.

Simplified management for operational efficiency

The PowerEdge FC640 integrates with Dell EMC OpenManage, featuring iDRAC9 with Lifecycle Controller for remote, agent-free server management.

Support for Redfish RESTful APIs, RACADM CLI, and OpenManage Enterprise enables seamless orchestration and automation across IT environments.

Smart automation tools streamline provisioning, configuration, and updates, helping IT teams reduce manual workload and response times.

The FC640 supports integration with major IT ecosystems, including VMware, Microsoft, and open-source platforms, for scalable and centralized administration.
