Blade server for dense compute
The Dell PowerEdge M640 is a half-height blade that fits two Xeon Gold 6230 processors running at 2.1 GHz, 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H330 SAS RAID controller. It ships with two 900 GB 10K SAS drives in the two 2.5-inch bays and includes a 10 GbE dual-port 562T adapter plus iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management.
Suited for virtualization clusters
This configuration targets environments that need many cores and large memory capacity in a shared chassis, such as virtualization hosts or database nodes. Buyers who need more than two internal drives, direct-attached storage using interfaces other than SAS, or GPU-accelerated workloads should consider other platforms because the blade supports only two 2.5-inch SAS bays and integrated graphics.
Two 900 GB SAS drives define capacity
The single specification that decides fit is the installed storage: two 900 GB SAS hard drives provide 1.8 TB of raw capacity in a RAID array managed by the H330 controller. If the workload requires greater local capacity, faster flash media or a different drive interface, this blade will not meet the requirement.

Questions about this item
How do I confirm the 2x Xeon Gold 6230 processors and 256GB DDR4 memory are detected after installing the blade?
Power on the blade and open the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface; the System Inventory page lists both CPUs at 2.1 GHz and shows 256GB DDR4 installed.
What components are included in the box and what must be sourced separately?
The unit ships with 2x Xeon Gold 6230 CPUs, 256GB DDR4 ECC registered memory, 2x 900GB SAS 2.5" 10K HDDs, PERC H330 RAID controller, and 10GB 2-port 562T adapter; a rail kit is available on request.
Which installed capacity should I choose if I need more memory or storage headroom?
This configuration provides 256GB DDR4 across the two processors and 1.8TB total SAS storage; the platform supports up to 1TB DDR4 and two 2.5" drive bays for future upgrades.
