Dual-Socket Xeon Blade Server

The Dell PowerEdge M640 is a two-socket blade server fitted with two Xeon Gold 5122 processors running at 3.6 GHz. It ships with 48 GB of DDR4 memory and two 4 TB SATA drives managed by a PERC H330 controller. Remote administration is provided by iDRAC9 Enterprise.

Suited for dense compute clusters

This configuration suits clusters that need high single-thread frequency in a half-height blade form factor. Buyers who require more than two internal drives or a larger memory footprint from day one should evaluate other platforms. The installed CPU count is already at the system maximum of two processors.

Two Xeon Gold 5122 CPUs at 3.6 GHz

The decisive specification is the pair of four-core Xeon Gold 5122 processors operating at 3.6 GHz with 16.5 MB cache each. This fixed CPU configuration determines the licensing cost and peak frequency available for latency-sensitive workloads. Memory can be expanded to 1 TB using DDR4 modules.

Questions about this item

How do I install the Dell M640 blade into an enclosure?

Slide the blade into a compatible Dell PowerEdge enclosure until the latch engages, then configure the system using the iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management interface.

What maintenance will the PERC H330 controller and 2x 4TB SATA drives need later?

Monitor the PERC H330 RAID controller logs for drive health and replace any failed 4TB SATA 2.5-inch drive by hot-swapping it; the controller will rebuild the array automatically.

What limit appears first when the 2x Xeon Gold 5122 CPUs run sustained workloads?

The two Xeon Gold 5122 processors have a 3.6 GHz base speed and 16.5 MB cache each; under sustained load thermal limits in the blade enclosure will throttle performance before memory capacity becomes a bottleneck.
