DELL PowerEdge M640 Blade 2x Xeon Gold 6142 192GB 2x 900GB SAS

Blade server for dense compute

The Dell PowerEdge M640 is a dual-socket blade designed for environments that consolidate many workloads into a single chassis. Two Xeon Gold 6142 processors provide thirty-two cores at 2.6 GHz for parallel tasks. One hundred ninety-two gigabytes of DDR4 ECC registered memory supports large in-memory datasets. Dual 900 GB SAS drives give local storage for operating systems or scratch space.

Sustained multi-threaded throughput

The sixteen-core CPUs maintain 2.6 GHz across all cores during extended calculations such as rendering, simulation or database indexing. The PERC H330 controller manages the SAS drives in RAID 0 or 1 without a battery-backed cache, so write latency stays consistent once the array is built. Ten-gigabit Ethernet from the 562T adapter keeps network saturation low when nodes exchange data continuously.

Thermals and power in a shared chassis

Blade form factor relies on the enclosure fans for airflow, so the module itself has no independent cooling noise. Power draw scales with CPU utilisation and the two 10K drives, staying within the chassis budget for typical mixed workloads. iDRAC9 Enterprise provides remote sensor monitoring and power capping without requiring physical access to the blade.
