Two-Socket Xeon Gold 6154 Blade Server

The Dell PowerEdge M640 is a half-height blade server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 6154 processors, each delivering 18 cores at 3.0 GHz with a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across four modules. The system includes a PERC H330 controller managing two 960 GB SAS solid-state drives in a 2.5-inch form factor.

Suited for Virtualisation and HPC Clusters

This configuration targets administrators building virtualisation hosts, private-cloud nodes or high-performance compute clusters that benefit from 36 total cores and fast SAS storage. It is not for buyers who need more than 64 GB of memory out of the box, who require an operating system pre-installed, or who lack a compatible PowerEdge MX or M1000e chassis to house the blade.

PERC H330 Controller and 10 Gb Network Daughter Card

The bundled PERC H330 storage controller enables RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 10 and 50 for the installed SSDs. A Broadcom 57810S-K dual-port 10 Gb blade network daughter card provides high-speed fabric connectivity. iDRAC9 Enterprise delivers comprehensive remote management, while the absence of front bezel and ready rails means those items must be sourced separately.

Questions about this item

Does this blade need a Dell PowerEdge MX or M1000e chassis to operate?

Yes, the PowerEdge M640 is a half-height blade that only functions when installed in a compatible Dell PowerEdge MX or M1000e enclosure.

Will the installed PERC H330 controller support my existing 12Gb/s SAS drives?

The Dell PERC H330 Mini Mono controller provides 12Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity, so it will work with 12Gb/s SAS drives.

How can I confirm the two Xeon Gold 6154 processors are recognised after installation?

Check the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface or the system BIOS; both should show two 18-core CPUs running at 3.0GHz base with 3.7GHz turbo.
