DELL PowerEdge M640 Blade 2x Xeon Platinum 8160 256GB DDR4 2x 900GB SAS

Dual Xeon Platinum blade server

The Dell PowerEdge M640 blade installs two Xeon Platinum 8160 processors at 2.1 GHz, each with 24 cores and 33 MB cache. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and supports up to 1 TB total capacity. The system is designed for dense compute clusters that need high core counts in a half-height form factor.

PERC H330 SAS storage and 10 Gb networking

A PERC H330 SAS RAID controller manages two 900 GB 2.5-inch 10K SAS hard drives in the available drive bays. An Ethernet 10G 2-port 562T adapter provides dual 10 Gb network uplinks for fast east-west traffic. Integrated iDRAC9 Enterprise enables remote power control, console access and firmware updates without a local keyboard or monitor.

Half-height blade limits expansion slots

The blade form factor restricts internal storage to two 2.5-inch bays and offers no additional PCIe slots beyond the installed mezzanine cards. Memory scaling stops at 1 TB, so workloads that require more RAM must span multiple blades. Buyers who need more local drives, GPU acceleration or additional network ports should evaluate full-height or rack-mount alternatives.
