Dense Compute Blade

The Dell PowerEdge M640 is a half-height blade server built for high-density data-centre deployments. It targets IT teams running virtualisation, private-cloud or high-performance computing workloads that demand many cores in a small chassis footprint. The unit fits into PowerEdge MX or M1000e enclosures and ships without an operating system.

Dual Xeon Gold 6230 Upgrade

This configuration installs two Intel Xeon Gold 6230 processors, each with 20 cores running at 2.1 GHz base and 3.9 GHz turbo. The jump from a single-socket or lower-core-count blade is worth it when licensing, memory bandwidth or thread density become the limiting factor. Sixteen DDR4 slots support up to 1.5 TB of registered ECC memory for future growth.

Sustained Load Behaviour

Under continuous load the dual 20-core CPUs maintain elevated frequencies within the blade’s thermal envelope. The PERC H330 controller manages the two 1.92 TB SATA SSDs in RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 or 50 without a dedicated cache module. Dual 10 Gb network ports and iDRAC9 Enterprise keep management traffic separate from production data during extended runs.

Questions about this item

Which chassis will accept this half-height blade?

The PowerEdge M640 is a half-height blade that fits the PowerEdge MX and M1000e chassis.

How do the two Xeon Gold 6230 CPUs and 64GB of DDR4 memory install?

Both LGA 3647 sockets are already populated with the 20-core Xeon Gold 6230 processors, and the 64GB DDR4 is pre-installed as four 16GB registered ECC modules across the 16 DIMM slots.

When will the 1.92TB SATA SSDs or the PERC H330 controller need replacement?

The two 1.92TB SATA SSDs are enterprise-grade drives rated for high endurance; the PERC H330 controller has no moving parts. Both typically last the server's service life unless a drive reports a SMART failure or the controller firmware cannot be updated further.
