DELL PowerEdge M640 Blade 2x Xeon Gold 6248 48GB DDR4 2x 4TB SATA

Dual Xeon Gold 6248 Blade Server

The Dell PowerEdge M640 is a dual-socket blade server built for dense compute environments. Two Xeon Gold 6248 processors at 2.5 GHz deliver 40 total cores with 27.5 MB cache each. 48 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H330 SAS controller support the installed 2 x 4 TB SATA drives. Integrated graphics and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management come standard.

Fit for Virtualisation Not for GPU Workloads

This blade suits virtualisation hosts, database nodes and high-thread-count applications that benefit from 40 cores in a half-height form factor. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, more than two 2.5-inch drive bays, or memory beyond 48 GB without adding modules should look at alternative platforms. The fixed two-processor maximum limits future CPU expansion.

PERC H330 RAID Controller Decides Storage Layout

The installed PERC H330 SAS storage controller determines which RAID levels are available for the two 4 TB SATA drives and any additional 2.5-inch disks. It manages the 10 GbE 562T adapter connectivity and presents logical volumes to the operating system. Verify the controller's supported RAID modes match your redundancy and capacity requirements before deployment.
