Blade Server for Dense Compute

The Dell PowerEdge M640 is a half-height blade server built for high-density data-centre deployments. It ships with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors, each running at 2.10 GHz with a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency and 24 cores. Sixteen gigabytes of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory are installed across two modules. The system includes a PERC H330 storage controller and dual 10 Gb network ports via a Broadcom 57810S-K daughter card. iDRAC9 Enterprise provides remote management capabilities.

Suited for Virtualisation and HPC Clusters

This configuration targets environments that need many cores in a small chassis footprint, such as virtualisation hosts, private-cloud nodes or high-performance-compute workloads. Buyers who require larger memory capacity out of the box should note only 16 GB is installed, though the platform supports up to 2 TB across 16 DIMM slots. Organisations without a compatible PowerEdge MX or M1000e chassis cannot install this blade. Teams needing integrated GPU acceleration will find only the basic Matrox G200 graphics controller with 8 MB video memory.

Dual 1.92 TB SATA SSDs Define Storage Baseline

Two Dell Enterprise 1.92 TB SATA 6 Gb/s 2.5-inch solid-state drives are factory-installed behind the PERC H330 controller, which supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 and 50. The blade accepts SATA and SAS drives, but no NVMe devices are present in this build. Storage capacity and performance are therefore fixed by these two drives unless additional bays are populated in the chassis.

Questions about this item

What chassis standard does the Dell PowerEdge M640 blade use?

It is a half-height blade designed for Dell PowerEdge M1000e and MX chassis.

What physical drive bays and memory slots are available inside the blade?

The blade provides two 2.5-inch drive bays and sixteen DDR4 memory slots.

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

Slide the blade into an empty half-height slot until the latch clicks, then attach the bezel if required; the step often missed is fully engaging the latch so the blade seats on the midplane.
