Blade server for virtualisation and HPC

The Dell PowerEdge M640 is a half-height blade designed for dense compute environments. Two Xeon Platinum 8260 processors deliver 24 cores each at 2.4 GHz with 3.9 GHz turbo. 32 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory is installed across 16 slots, expandable to 1.5 TB. iDRAC9 Enterprise provides full remote management.

Suits dense compute clusters.

This blade fits administrators building virtualisation farms or high-performance compute clusters inside a PowerEdge MX or M1000e chassis. The dual 10 Gb ports and S140 controller support fast networking and boot drives. Buyers who need more than two 2.5-inch drive bays or on-board GPU acceleration should look at a different platform.

Dual 10 Gb network daughter card

The Broadcom 57810S-K dual-port 10 Gb blade network daughter card is factory installed. It provides the primary high-speed fabric connection for the blade. Confirm that your chassis mid-plane and upstream switches support this card before deployment.
