DELL PowerEdge M640 2x Xeon Platinum 8260 2.4GHz 24C 64GB DDR4 2x 1.92TB H330 57810S-K iDRAC9 Enterprise

Dual Xeon Platinum 8260 Blade

The Dell PowerEdge M640 is a half-height blade server equipped with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8260 processors. Each CPU provides 24 cores at a base frequency of 2.4 GHz and a 3.9 GHz turbo. The system includes 64 GB of DDR4 2933 MHz registered ECC memory across four modules. It is built for virtualization, private cloud and high-performance computing workloads.

Chassis Integration and Expansion

This blade requires a PowerEdge MX or M1000e enclosure for power, cooling and fabric connectivity. The Dell PERC H330 controller manages two 1.92 TB SATA SSDs with support for RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 and 50. A Broadcom 57810S-K dual-port 10 Gb network daughter card provides high-speed I/O. Sixteen DDR4 slots allow memory expansion up to 1.5 TB.

Sustained Load Behaviour

The dual 24-core configuration delivers 56 total threads for continuous multi-threaded throughput. DDR4 2933 MHz registered ECC memory maintains data integrity during extended compute tasks. iDRAC9 Enterprise enables remote monitoring and firmware updates without host downtime. The half-height form factor fits dense deployments while the H330 controller sustains mixed read-write patterns across the SATA SSD array.
