Dell PowerEdge M640 Blade Server

This Dell PowerEdge M640 is a half-height blade server built for dense compute environments. It arrives new with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 16 GB modules and a PERC H330 storage controller with two 2.5-inch drive caddies.

Suits virtualization and HPC clusters needing

Buyers who need GPU acceleration or direct-attached NVMe storage should look elsewhere because this blade relies on a Matrox G200 graphics controller with 8 MB video memory and the installed H330 controller supports SAS and SATA drives only. The half-height form factor also limits expansion to the single mezzanine card already populated by the 10 Gb dual-port daughter card.

Dual Xeon 8160 24-core processors decide the density

With 24 cores per socket and a maximum of two processors installed, this configuration delivers the highest core count the M640 platform supports. The 16 DIMM slots allow memory to scale to 2 TB, but the CPU choice is fixed and cannot be upgraded beyond the Platinum 8160.

Questions about this item

How much power does the dual 24-core Xeon 8160 configuration draw under sustained load?

The blade uses two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors rated at 2.1 GHz base and 3.7 GHz turbo; actual power draw depends on the chassis power supply and workload.

What chassis and interconnects are required to run this M640 blade?

The M640 is a half-height blade that fits Dell PowerEdge M1000e or MX-series enclosures; the installed Broadcom 57810S-K daughter card provides dual 10 Gb Ethernet through the chassis mid-plane.

Can the PERC H330 controller manage NVMe drives installed in the 2.5" bays?

The PERC H330 supports SAS and SATA RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 and 50; NVMe devices require a different controller and are not supported by this H330.
