Blade server for dense compute

The Dell PowerEdge M640 is a half-height blade that fits the PowerEdge MX and M1000e chassis. It ships with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors, each running 24 cores at 2.1 GHz with a 3.7 GHz turbo. The system includes 64 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across four modules and a PERC H330 controller that supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 and 50. Dual 10 Gb ports are provided by a Broadcom 57810S-K daughter card, and iDRAC9 Enterprise handles remote management.

Blade chassis limits expansion

Because the M640 is a blade, it has no PCIe slots and no internal drive bays beyond the two 2.5-inch trays supplied. Maximum memory is 1.5 TB across 16 DDR4 slots, so the installed 64 GB leaves room to grow. The PERC H330 connects only SAS and SATA devices; NVMe drives require a different controller not present here. Network connectivity is fixed to the dual 10 Gb ports on the mezzanine card, and GPU options are limited to the basic Matrox G200 with 8 MB video memory.

Check chassis compatibility first

Verify that your rack holds a PowerEdge MX or M1000e enclosure with available half-height slots and sufficient power budget for dual 24-core CPUs. Confirm the chassis firmware supports the Xeon Platinum 8160 and the 57810S-K network daughter card. Ensure you have a PERC H330-compatible backplane or cabling plan for the two 2.5-inch SAS/SATA drives. No operating system, front bezel or ready rails are included, so plan for OS deployment and physical mounting separately.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 64 GB DDR4 configuration or add more memory later?

The server ships with 64 GB across four 16 GB modules; 16 slots exist and the platform supports up to 1.5 TB, so you can expand when workloads demand it.

What does the 2.1 GHz base and 3.7 GHz turbo mean for actual throughput?

Two Xeon Platinum 8160 CPUs provide 24 cores each at 2.1 GHz base, boosting to 3.7 GHz under load for burst-heavy tasks.

How does the Broadcom 57810S-K 10 Gb dual-port card limit network speed?

The daughter card caps each port at 10 Gb/s, giving two independent 10 Gb links for blade-to-switch connectivity.
