Dense Blade Server for Virtualization

The Dell PowerEdge M640 is a half-height blade server built for high-density compute. Two Xeon Platinum 8160 processors deliver 24 cores each at 2.1 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo. The system ships with 32 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory and a PERC S140 controller managing two 960 GB SATA SSDs.

Fits MX and M1000e Chassis Buyers

This blade suits teams running virtualization, private cloud or HPC workloads inside a compatible Dell chassis with iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management. It does not suit buyers who need more storage bays than the two 2.5-inch slots provide or who require a GPU beyond the basic Matrox G200 display adapter.

Two 960 GB SSDs Define Capacity

The installed pair of 960 GB SATA solid-state drives sets the baseline storage capacity and RAID 0, 1, 5 or 10 options. The S140 controller also supports SAS and NVMe devices for future expansion, but the factory configuration delivers exactly two drives.

Questions about this item

Will the M640 blade fit in my existing M1000e chassis?

The M640 is a half-height blade designed to integrate into both PowerEdge MX and M1000e chassis.

How can I confirm the dual Xeon 8160 processors and 32 GB DDR4 are recognised after installation?

Use the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface to view the system inventory; it will show two 24-core CPUs at 2.10 GHz and 32 GB across four memory slots.

What ships in the box and what must I source separately?

The blade includes two Xeon 8160 CPUs, 32 GB DDR4, two 960 GB SATA SSDs, the PERC S140 controller, a 57810S-K 10 Gb dual-port network card, and iDRAC9 Enterprise; bezel, ready rails, and an operating system are not included.
