DELL PowerEdge M640 Blade 2x Xeon Platinum 8158 128GB DDR4 2x 300GB SAS

Ready-to-deploy blade server

The Dell PowerEdge M640 blade arrives with dual Xeon Platinum 8158 processors at 3.0 GHz, 128 GB of DDR4 memory and two 300 GB 10K SAS drives on a PERC H330 controller. Firmware is current and the system has passed full diagnostics.

Suits dense compute clusters; not for GPU workloads

This configuration targets virtualisation hosts, database nodes and HPC clusters that need high core counts in a half-height form factor. The integrated graphics and lack of PCIe accelerator slots rule out GPU-accelerated AI, rendering or VDI deployments.

Dual 12-core CPUs set the performance ceiling

With 24 total cores and 128 GB of DDR4 installed against a 1 TB maximum, the processor complex is the primary scaling limit. Memory can be expanded later, but the socket count is fixed at two.
