DELL PowerEdge M640 Blade 2× Xeon Gold 6242 384GB DDR4 2× 900GB SAS

Dual-socket Xeon blade for dense compute

The Dell PowerEdge M640 blade fits inside a shared chassis and delivers two Intel Xeon Gold 6242 processors running at 2.8 GHz with sixteen cores each. It targets data-centre workloads that need high core counts in a compact form factor, such as virtualisation clusters or batch processing farms.

384 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory installed

The system ships with 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered RAM spread across available slots, leaving room to expand up to the platform maximum of 1 TB. This capacity directly determines how many virtual machines or in-memory datasets the blade can handle simultaneously.

PERC H330 controller manages dual 900 GB SAS drives

A Dell PERC H330 SAS storage controller drives two 900 GB 10K SAS hard drives in a hardware RAID configuration. The controller offloads parity calculations from the CPUs, sustaining consistent throughput during extended rebuilds or heavy sequential write streams without thermal throttling.
