Dell PowerEdge M640 Blade Server

The Dell PowerEdge M640 is a blade server designed for dense compute environments. It operates with two Intel Xeon Gold 6226 processors running at 2.7 GHz. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 memory and two 300 GB SAS hard drives.

Virtualisation and database workloads

This configuration suits workloads that benefit from high core counts and fast local storage, such as virtualisation clusters or database nodes. Buyers who need more than two internal drives or require GPU acceleration should consider alternative platforms.

Dual Xeon Gold 6226 processors

The server is equipped with two Xeon Gold 6226 CPUs, each providing 12 cores and 19.25 MB cache. This processor choice determines the available compute throughput and the maximum supported memory capacity of 1 TB.

Questions about this item

What chassis slot width does this 22-inch wide blade require?

The blade measures 22 inches wide and 22 inches deep, so it occupies a full-width slot in a compatible Dell PowerEdge enclosure.

Which step is often missed when seating the blade into the enclosure?

Engage both ejection levers fully until they click, then tighten the captive thumbscrews; skipping the lever click leaves the backplane connectors partially seated.

When should the two 300 GB SAS drives be replaced in a RAID 1 array?

Replace a drive immediately when the PERC H330 reports a predictive failure or the iDRAC9 Enterprise LED turns amber, then let the array rebuild.
