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. Sixteen gigabytes of DDR4 registered ECC memory are installed across two modules. The platform fits into PowerEdge MX or M1000e chassis for shared power and cooling.

Suited for Virtualisation and HPC Clusters

This configuration targets organisations running virtualisation, private cloud or high-performance computing workloads that benefit from many cores in a small footprint. The dual 24-core CPUs and 10 Gb dual-port networking support scale-out architectures. Buyers who need large local storage capacity or GPU acceleration should look at alternative platforms because the blade provides only two 2.5-inch drive bays and a Matrox G200 graphics controller with 8 MB video memory.

Storage Controller Determines Drive Options

The integrated Dell PERC S140 controller manages the two installed 960 GB SATA SSDs and supports RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 across SATA and SAS interfaces. NVMe drives are also supported by the controller for future upgrades. The single specification that decides fit is whether the S140 RAID feature set meets the redundancy and performance requirements of the intended workload.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the dual Xeon 8160 processors and 16GB DDR4 are recognised after installing the blade into an M1000e chassis?

The iDRAC9 Enterprise interface will display both 24-core CPUs at 2.1GHz and the 16GB registered ECC memory in its hardware inventory once the blade powers on.

Which components ship with the M640 blade and what must I supply separately?

The blade includes two Xeon 8160 processors, 16GB DDR4, two 960GB SATA SSDs, the PERC S140 controller and the 57810S-K 10Gb dual-port network card; you must provide a compatible M1000e or MX chassis and any additional memory or drives.

Should I choose this 16GB configuration or add more DDR4 modules to reach the 2TB maximum?

Start with the installed 16GB if your workload fits; the blade has 16 DDR4 slots supporting up to 2TB total, so you can add registered ECC modules later as demand grows.
