PowerEdge M640 blade server

The Dell PowerEdge M640 is a blade server fitted with two Xeon Platinum 8253 processors at 2.2 GHz and 32 GB of DDR4 memory. Two 4 TB SATA drives provide storage managed by a PERC H330 SAS controller. Integrated graphics and a 10 Gb dual-port 562T adapter handle video and networking. iDRAC9 Enterprise gives full remote control.

Suited for dense compute.

This blade fits workloads that need many cores in a small footprint, such as virtualisation clusters or HPC nodes. Buyers who want more storage bays or discrete GPU acceleration should look at something else. The two 2.5-inch drive slots and integrated graphics set hard limits on local capacity and graphics performance.

Dual Xeon Platinum 8253 at 2.2 GHz

The pair of 16-core Xeon Platinum 8253 CPUs is the defining specification; it fixes the thread count, cache hierarchy and power envelope for the entire chassis. If your software licences or performance targets are built around that exact processor, the M640 matches. If they require a different core count or frequency, another platform is needed.

Questions about this item

Does the blade ship with the chassis, power supplies and rails, or do I need to buy them separately?

The M640 blade includes two Xeon Platinum 8253 CPUs, 32 GB DDR4, two 4 TB SATA 2.5" drives and a PERC H330 controller; the enclosure, power modules and rail kit are not included.

Should I pick the 32 GB configuration or add more DDR4 up to the 1 TB maximum?

32 GB suits light virtualization; scale toward 1 TB when running dense VM clusters or in-memory databases that need the full 16 cores per socket at 2.2 GHz.

What does the 2.2 GHz clock on the dual 8253 processors deliver in a live workload?

Two 16-core 8253 CPUs at 2.2 GHz provide 32 threads for parallel tasks such as container hosts or ERP modules, with the PERC H330 managing the 8 TB raw storage.
