DELL PowerEdge M640 Blade 2x Xeon Gold 6128 32GB DDR4 2x 4TB SATA

PowerEdge M640 blade with dual Xeon Gold 6128

This dual-socket blade installs two Intel Xeon Gold 6128 processors running at 3.4 GHz, each with six cores and 19.25 MB cache. It ships with 32 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and two 4 TB SATA 2.5-inch drives managed by a PERC H330 SAS storage controller. Integrated graphics and a 10 GbE 2-port 562T adapter handle display and networking. iDRAC9 Enterprise provides remote management for data-centre operators.

Sustained load on twin Gold 6128 CPUs

Under continuous workloads the pair of 3.4 GHz Xeon Gold 6128 processors maintains stable frequencies across all twelve cores. The PERC H330 controller manages the dual 4 TB SATA drives with consistent throughput for database or virtualisation tasks. DDR4 ECC memory corrects single-bit errors without interrupting service. iDRAC9 Enterprise monitors thermal and power metrics in real time so administrators can act before throttling occurs.

Upgrade path from single-socket or smaller blades

The M640 blade replaces single-socket blades or older two-socket modules that max out at lower core counts or memory capacity. Adding the second Gold 6128 doubles thread count and raises the memory ceiling to 1 TB of DDR4. The jump is worth it when workloads exceed the compute or memory headroom of a single processor and the chassis can supply the required power and cooling.
