DELL PowerEdge M640 Blade Server 2x Xeon Gold 5115 2.4 GHz 384GB DDR4 2x 1.8TB SAS

PowerEdge M640 blade with dual Xeon Gold 5115

The Dell PowerEdge M640 is a half-height blade server built for dense compute clusters. Two Intel Xeon Gold 5115 processors running at 2.4 GHz deliver twenty cores total. The system ships with 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H330 SAS storage controller managing two 1.8 TB SAS hard drives.

Suited for memory-heavy virtualisation.

This configuration suits virtualisation hosts, database nodes and high-performance computing jobs that benefit from large memory capacity and dual-socket throughput. The integrated graphics and absence of discrete GPU support make it unsuitable for rendering, AI training or VDI workloads that require hardware acceleration. Buyers needing PCIe expansion beyond the blade form factor should evaluate rack-mount alternatives.

384 GB DDR4 installed with 1 TB maximum

The installed 384 GB of DDR4 SDRAM operates across twenty-four DIMM slots and can be expanded to a maximum of 1 TB. This ceiling determines whether the blade can accommodate future workload growth without a platform change. Verify your application memory footprint against the 1 TB limit before deployment.
