Blade server with dual Xeon Gold 6248 processors

The Dell PowerEdge M640 blade installs two Intel Xeon Gold 6248 CPUs at 2.5 GHz, delivering 40 cores and 80 threads for dense virtualisation or database workloads. It ships with 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H330 SAS controller managing two 4 TB SATA drives. Remote administration is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise and a 10 GbE dual-port 562T adapter.

Suited for compute-heavy blades

This configuration fits buyers who need maximum core density today and can operate within the installed 384 GB of RAM. It is not for buyers who require the full 1 TB memory ceiling supported by the platform, nor for deployments that need more than two internal 2.5-inch drives or a different storage interface.

384 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory installed

The single specification that decides fit is the installed memory capacity of 384 GB. If the workload demands more capacity immediately, the blade will need additional DIMMs before deployment; if 384 GB satisfies the working set, the server is ready to run.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 384GB DDR4 configuration or expand to the 1TB maximum?

The system ships with 384GB DDR4 ECC registered memory installed and supports up to 1TB total across 24 slots, so choose 384GB for immediate use or add modules later for larger workloads.

What does the 2.5 GHz Xeon Gold 6248 speed deliver in this blade?

Two Xeon Gold 6248 processors at 2.5 GHz provide 40 total cores and 80 threads with 27.5 MB cache each, suited for virtualisation, databases and high-thread-count applications.

How does the PERC H330 SAS controller limit the 2x 4TB SATA drives?

The PERC H330 SAS storage controller manages the two 4TB SATA 2.5-inch drives in RAID 0, 1 or JBOD, capping throughput at the SATA 6Gb/s link speed.
