Blade Server for Virtualisation and HPC

The Dell PowerEdge M640 is a half-height blade server built for dense compute workloads such as virtualisation, private cloud and high-performance computing. It ships with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors, each offering 24 cores at 2.1 GHz with a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 16 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across two modules.

Fits MX and M1000e Chassis with Dual 10 GbE

This blade installs directly into a PowerEdge MX or M1000e enclosure, drawing power, cooling and fabric connectivity from the chassis mid-plane. Two 2.5-inch drive bays accept SAS or SATA drives, while the Broadcom 57810S-K daughter card provides dual-port 10 Gb Ethernet without consuming a PCIe slot. The PERC H330 controller manages RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 and 50 across the installed drives.

iDRAC9 Enterprise and Matrox G200 Graphics

Integrated iDRAC9 Enterprise delivers full remote management, including virtual console, power control and hardware inventory, reducing the need for physical access. The onboard Matrox G200 controller supplies 8 MB video memory for basic display output during installation or troubleshooting. No operating system, front bezel or ready rails are included in the package.

Questions about this item

What limits the blade when both Xeon Platinum 8160 CPUs run at full load for hours?

The half-height blade form factor constrains cooling capacity, so sustained turbo at 3.7 GHz across 24 cores per socket will hit thermal limits before the power budget does.

How loud and hot does it get inside a populated chassis after a full day of compute?

The blade has no integrated fans; noise and exhaust temperature depend entirely on the M1000e or MX chassis fan wall and the 10 Gb dual-port network card adds negligible extra heat.

Which existing infrastructure must be in place before this blade can boot?

A Dell PowerEdge M1000e or MX chassis, compatible I/O fabric for the Broadcom 57810S-K 10 Gb daughter card, and DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC DIMMs are required.
