Dual-socket Xeon Gold 6240 blade server

This Dell PowerEdge M640 blade carries two Xeon Gold 6240 processors running at 2.60 GHz. Each CPU provides 18 cores and 24.75 MB cache. The system ships with 48 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H330 SAS storage controller. Two 1.8 TB SAS hard drives are installed in the 2.5-inch drive bays.

Suited for dense virtualisation hosts.

The integrated graphics and blade form factor target compute clusters that need high core counts in a shared chassis. Buyers who require dedicated GPU acceleration or more than two internal drives should look at a different platform. The 10 GbE dual-port adapter supports high-throughput east-west traffic.

Max memory capacity of 1 TB decides upgrade headroom

The board supports up to 1 TB of DDR4 across its DIMM slots. If your workloads will grow beyond the installed 48 GB, confirm the slot population and rank limits before ordering additional modules. The PERC H330 handles RAID for the SAS drives.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the PERC H330 RAID controller sees both 1.8TB SAS drives after installation?

The PERC H330 RAID controller will display both 1.8TB SAS drives in its BIOS configuration utility during POST.

What components are included with the blade and what must be sourced separately?

The blade includes two Xeon Gold 6240 processors, 48GB DDR4 ECC Registered memory, two 1.8TB SAS HDDs, PERC H330 RAID controller, and a 10GB 2-port 562T Ethernet adapter; a rail kit is available on request.

Which configuration suits a workload needing maximum memory headroom within this blade?

This blade installs 48GB DDR4 and supports up to 1TB, so choose this version if you plan to add DDR4 ECC Registered modules later for greater capacity.
