Dual Xeon Gold 5218 blade
The Dell PowerEdge M640 blade server ships with two Xeon Gold 5218 processors running at 2.3 GHz and 48 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It fits into a standard blade enclosure and is aimed at data-centre workloads that need dense compute in a shared chassis.
PERC H330 with dual 900 GB SAS
The installed PERC H330 RAID controller manages the two 900 GB 10K SAS drives in a 2.5-inch form factor. An integrated 10 GbE 2-port 562T adapter provides high-speed networking, while iDRAC9 Enterprise gives full remote management without extra licensing.
1 TB maximum memory capacity
The system supports up to 1 TB of DDR4 across its memory slots, so the installed 48 GB can be expanded significantly. Buyers who need more than two internal drives or a different drive interface should look at other form factors.

Questions about this item
What memory upgrades will the M640 blade need later?
The blade accepts DDR4 SDRAM up to 1 TB total; the current 48 GB can be expanded by adding compatible DDR4 ECC registered modules.
Which limit appears first when the dual Xeon Gold 5218 CPUs run sustained workloads?
With 2.3 GHz base clocks and 16 cores per processor, thermal limits in the blade enclosure typically throttle performance before memory or storage bandwidth saturates.
How much noise and heat does the M640 produce running all day in a chassis?
As a blade it relies on the chassis fans; the integrated iDRAC9 Enterprise monitors inlet temperature and fan speed to keep the 20 lb unit within operating limits.
