Dense blade compute for virtualization clusters

The Dell PowerEdge M640 is a half-height blade server built for high-density racks. Two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors provide 24 cores each at a 2.1 GHz base frequency with 3.7 GHz turbo capability. 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory fills all 16 slots at 2666 MHz. A PERC H330 controller manages two 960 GB SATA SSDs in RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 or 50.

Suited for homogeneous blade farms.

This unit requires a compatible PowerEdge MX or M1000e chassis for power, cooling and fabric interconnects. Organisations running dense virtualization, private cloud or HPC workloads can scale by adding blades to the same enclosure. Buyers who need a self-contained rack server with integrated power supplies and front-accessible drives should look at a different form factor. The Matrox G200 graphics with 8 MB video memory supports only basic console output.

Dual-socket 24-core Xeon Platinum 8160 configuration

The server ships with two Xeon Platinum 8160 CPUs, reaching the maximum of two processors supported by the M640 platform. Each processor uses the LGA 3647 socket and delivers 24 cores at 2.1 GHz base clock. This specific processor choice fixes the core count, thread count and memory channel architecture for the life of the blade.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the blade server is operating correctly after installation?

Check the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface for green health indicators on both Xeon Platinum 8160 processors, all 16 DDR4 memory modules, the PERC H330 controller and the two 960GB SSDs, then confirm the 57810S-K 10Gb network ports show link status.

What components are included and what must I supply separately?

The unit ships with two Xeon Platinum 8160 CPUs, 512GB DDR4 memory in 16 slots, PERC H330 controller, two 960GB SATA SSDs and the 57810S-K dual-port 10Gb network card; you must provide a compatible MX or M1000e chassis, front bezel, ready rails and an operating system.

Which memory capacity matches this configuration?

This blade arrives with 512GB of DDR4 2666MHz registered ECC memory installed across all 16 slots, leaving no empty DIMM sockets for future expansion without removing existing modules.
