Blade Server for Virtualisation and HPC

The Dell PowerEdge M640 is a half-height blade server built for dense compute workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8260 processors, each running at 2.4 GHz with a 3.9 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 16 GB of DDR4 memory across 16 slots and a PERC H330 storage controller.

Suits Dense Compute Clusters.

This blade fits organisations running virtualisation, private cloud or high-performance computing in a PowerEdge MX or M1000e chassis. The dual 10 GbE ports and iDRAC9 Enterprise simplify scaling and remote management. Buyers who need more than two 2.5-inch drive bays or integrated GPU acceleration should look at other platforms.

Dual Xeon Platinum 8260 with 24 Cores Each

The defining specification is the pair of Intel Xeon Platinum 8260 processors, delivering 24 cores per socket at 2.4 GHz base clock. This core count and frequency determine whether the blade meets the throughput requirements for the target workload.

Questions about this item

What chassis must I already own to install this M640 blade?

The M640 blade installs in a Dell PowerEdge MX or M1000e chassis, which provides power, cooling and the midplane connections the blade requires.

Will my existing 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives work with the H330 controller on this blade?

Yes, the PERC H330 supports 12Gb/s SAS and 6Gb/s SATA, so your current 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives will connect and can be configured in RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 or 50.

How do I confirm the iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management is active after the blade is seated?

Open a browser to the iDRAC IP address; the login screen should show iDRAC9 Enterprise and the dashboard will display both Xeon 8260 CPUs, 16GB DDR4 and the Broadcom 57810S-K 10Gb dual-port NIC.
