Dell PowerEdge M640 Blade Server

The Dell PowerEdge M640 is a dual-socket blade server fitted with two Intel Xeon Bronze 3204 processors running at 1.9 GHz. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H330 SAS storage controller. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise, and a 10 GbE two-port 562T network adapter is installed.

Suited For And Limits

This configuration suits deployments that need dense compute in a blade chassis with SAS storage and integrated graphics. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, more than two internal 2.5-inch drive bays, or memory beyond the installed 256 GB should consider other platforms. The system supports a maximum of two processors and up to 1 TB of DDR4 memory.

Deciding Specification

The installed storage consists of two 900 GB SAS 2.5-inch 10K hard drives connected to the PERC H330 controller. This capacity and interface determine whether the server meets your dataset size and I/O requirements. Only two drive bays are available in this blade form factor.

Questions about this item

What comes with the M640 blade and what must be purchased separately?

The blade includes two Xeon Bronze 3204 CPUs, 256GB DDR4 ECC memory, two 900GB SAS 2.5" 10K drives and a PERC H330 RAID controller; chassis, power, cooling and rail kit are not included

How do I choose between the installed 256GB and the 1TB maximum for DDR4?

256GB suits typical virtualisation or database workloads; add DDR4 modules later if applications need more capacity up to the 1TB limit

What does the 1.9 GHz speed of the 3204 mean inside a live M640?

Each 3204 runs six cores at 1.9 GHz with 8.25MB cache, giving twelve threads total for steady throughput on multi-threaded server tasks
