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.

Questions about this item

Does the PERC H330 RAID controller limit the SAS drives to a specific speed?

The controller supports 12 Gb/s SAS signalling, so the two installed 300 GB 10K drives run at their native interface rate.

What physical space does the blade require inside the chassis?

The unit measures 22 x 22 x 10 in and weighs 20 lb, fitting a half-height slot in a compatible Dell enclosure.

How is the blade installed and what step is often missed?

Slide the blade into the enclosure until it locks, then use iDRAC9 Enterprise to complete network and firmware setup before powering on the operating system.
