PowerEdge M640 blade for dense compute

The Dell PowerEdge M640 is a half-height blade server built for high-density data-centre deployments. Two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors provide 24 cores each at a 2.1 GHz base frequency with 3.7 GHz turbo. 32 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory is installed across four slots, leaving room for expansion up to the platform maximum. The system fits into PowerEdge MX or M1000e chassis for consolidated infrastructure.

Virtualisation hosts needing blade density.

This blade suits organisations running virtualisation, private cloud or HPC workloads where rack space is at a premium and 10 Gb networking is required. The PERC H330 controller handles SAS and SATA drives in RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 or 50 configurations. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, larger installed memory out of the box, or NVMe storage should evaluate alternative platforms.

Dual 10 Gb ports on the 57810S-K daughter card

Network connectivity is delivered by a Dell Broadcom 57810S-K dual-port 10 Gb blade network daughter card, providing high-throughput links for east-west traffic in clustered environments. The onboard Matrox G200 graphics with 8 MB video memory supports basic console output only. iDRAC9 Enterprise enables comprehensive remote management and automation across the chassis.

Questions about this item

What chassis does the PowerEdge M640 blade need to operate?

The half-height blade installs in a PowerEdge MX or M1000e chassis, which supplies power, cooling and the fabric interconnects the server requires.

Can the two 2.5-inch drive bays use my existing SAS or SATA drives?

Yes — the PERC H330 controller supports both SAS and SATA drives and offers RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 and 50 across the two bays.

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

Connect the iDRAC network port, browse to its IP address and log in; the dashboard will show the Enterprise licence, dual 10 GbE ports, CPU, memory and storage health.
