Target platform

The Dell PowerEdge M640 is a two-socket blade server built around dual Xeon Platinum 8160 processors running at 2.1 GHz. It ships with 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a PERC H330 SAS RAID controller managing two 900 GB 10K SAS drives. Remote administration is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise and a dual-port 10 GbE 562T adapter.

Fit and alternatives

This blade suits dense compute clusters, virtualisation hosts and database nodes that need high core counts and fast SAS storage in a half-height form factor. Buyers who need more than two 2.5-inch drive bays, GPU acceleration or a different storage protocol should look at another platform.

Deciding specification

The installed memory is 384 GB of DDR4 with a maximum capacity of 1 TB across the system. If the workload requires more than 1 TB of RAM this blade cannot meet the requirement.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management is active after installation?

Log into the iDRAC web interface using the server's IP address; the dashboard should show both Xeon Platinum 8160 processors at 2.1 GHz, 384 GB DDR4 memory, and the PERC H330 controller with the two 900 GB SAS drives.

Which components are included and which must be sourced separately?

The blade ships with 2x Xeon Platinum 8160 CPUs, 384 GB DDR4 ECC registered RAM, 2x 900 GB 2.5" 10K SAS drives, PERC H330 RAID controller, and a 10 GbE 2-port 562T adapter; a rail kit is available on request.

Which configuration should I choose if I need the maximum supported memory capacity?

This unit has 384 GB installed and supports up to 1 TB; select a configuration that populates the remaining DIMM slots with compatible DDR4 modules to reach the 1 TB limit.
