Dense dual-socket blade for virtualised workloads

The Dell PowerEdge M640 is a half-height blade server fitted with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 24-core processors running at 2.10 GHz base frequency. It ships with 16 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory and a PERC S140 controller that supports RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 across two 2.5-inch drive bays. A Broadcom 57810S-K dual-port 10 Gb network daughter card and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management complete the package.

Suits density-focused clusters needing integrated

Organisations consolidating virtual machines or running private-cloud stacks benefit from the twin 24-core CPUs and the on-board dual 10 Gb Ethernet ports. Buyers who need more than two 2.5-inch drives, or who require a storage controller with hardware RAID acceleration beyond S140 capabilities, should look at alternative platforms.

Two 2.5-inch bays limit local storage capacity

The server provides exactly two hot-plug 2.5-inch SAS/SATA caddies, so the amount of local data you can keep on the blade is capped by that bay count. If your deployment demands additional drives per node, this chassis will not meet the requirement.

Questions about this item

What chassis is required to install the PowerEdge M640 blade?

The M640 half-height blade fits into a Dell PowerEdge MX or M1000e enclosure, which supplies power, cooling and the fabric interconnects.

Can the existing Broadcom 57810S-K 10 Gb dual-port network daughter card stay in place when adding older 1 Gb mezzanine cards?

Yes, the 10 Gb daughter card occupies its dedicated slot; additional mezzanine cards for 1 Gb connectivity can be installed in the remaining mezzanine bays.

How do I confirm the 16 GB DDR4 memory and both Xeon 8160 processors are recognised after the blade is seated?

Open the iDRAC9 Enterprise web interface or check the BIOS POST screen; both will show 16 GB DDR4 at 2666 MHz and two 24-core Xeon 8160 CPUs at 2.1 GHz base frequency.
