Half-Height Blade for Dense Compute

The Dell PowerEdge M640 is a half-height blade server built for the PowerEdge MX and M1000e chassis. It arrives with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8260 processors, each running at 2.4 GHz with a 3.9 GHz turbo frequency and 24 cores. The system includes 16 GB of DDR4 2933 MHz registered ECC memory across 16 DIMM slots and a PERC H330 storage controller managing two 960 GB SATA SSDs in a 2.5-inch bay. iDRAC9 Enterprise provides remote management.

Virtualisation Hosts, Not GPU Farms

This blade suits teams consolidating virtual machines, running private cloud stacks or executing high-performance compute jobs that scale across many nodes in a shared chassis. The dual 10 GbE ports on the Broadcom 57810S-K daughter card handle east-west traffic between blades. Buyers who need local GPU acceleration, large local storage arrays or a standalone tower or rack form factor should look at a different platform.

24-Core Xeon Platinum 8260 at 2.4 GHz

The installed processors are the fixed specification that defines this blade's compute ceiling. Each CPU delivers 24 cores at 2.4 GHz base clock with 3.9 GHz turbo, and the server cannot accept more than two sockets. If a workload demands higher core counts per socket, faster base clocks or a different processor generation, this unit will not meet the requirement.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and what must I buy separately?

The blade includes two Xeon 8260 processors, 16GB DDR4 ECC memory, a PERC H330 controller, two 960GB SATA SSDs, a Broadcom 57810S-K 10Gb dual-port network card and iDRAC9 Enterprise. Front bezel, ready rails, an operating system and a compatible MX or M1000e chassis are not included.

Which memory capacity should I choose for this blade?

The unit ships with 16GB across two slots. The board offers 16 slots and supports up to 2TB of DDR4 registered ECC memory, so you can add modules later to match the workload.

What does the 3.9GHz turbo figure mean in daily use?

Each 24-core Xeon 8260 runs at a 2.4GHz base clock and can boost to 3.9GHz on active cores when thermal headroom allows, giving higher single-thread performance for bursty tasks.
