Blade Server with Dual Xeon Gold 5220S
The Dell PowerEdge M640 is a half-height blade server built for dense compute clusters. Two Intel Xeon Gold 5220S processors run at 2.7 GHz with 18 cores each, delivering 36 cores total. The system ships with 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H330 SAS RAID controller. Integrated iDRAC9 Enterprise enables remote management across the chassis.
Suited for virtualisation hosts needing high core
This blade fits organisations that run many virtual machines or containers on shared storage and want a compact, remotely manageable node. Buyers who require more than two internal drives or direct GPU acceleration should look at other configurations. The fixed two-drive bay limit and integrated graphics restrict local capacity and GPU workloads.
Maximum memory capacity of 1 TB DDR4
The M640 supports up to 1 TB of DDR4 across its DIMM slots, so the installed 256 GB can be expanded significantly. This ceiling decides whether the blade can grow with your workload or if a larger memory footprint is needed from the start. All additional modules must be DDR4 ECC registered to match the installed specification.

Questions about this item
Does the blade ship with drives and rails, or do I need to order them separately?
Two 1.8 TB SAS 2.5 inch drives and the PERC H330 controller are installed; a rail kit is available on request.
Should I choose the 256 GB DDR4 configuration or plan for the 1 TB maximum?
The system ships with 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and supports up to 1 TB if you need more capacity later.
What does the 2.7 GHz 18-core Xeon Gold 5220S rating mean for actual workloads?
Each of the two processors runs at 2.7 GHz with 18 cores and 24.75 MB cache, delivering strong multi-threaded performance for virtualisation and database tasks.
