DELL PowerEdge M640 Blade Server 2x Xeon 8160 2.1GHz 24-Core 128GB DDR4 S140 57810S-K iDRAC9 Enterprise

Blade Server for Dense Compute

The Dell EMC PowerEdge M640 is a half-height blade server built for high-density data-centre deployments. Two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors provide 24 cores each at a 2.1 GHz base frequency with 3.7 GHz turbo. The system ships with 128 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across eight slots and includes a PERC S140 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 for SATA or NVMe drives. Dual 10 Gb Ethernet ports and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management complete the platform.

Suited for Virtualisation and HPC Clusters

This configuration targets environments that need maximum core count and memory capacity in a single blade slot. Organisations running large virtual-machine farms, private-cloud infrastructure or high-performance compute workloads will benefit from the 56-core ceiling and 1.5 TB memory limit of the chassis. Buyers who require local GPU acceleration, Fibre Channel connectivity or more than two 2.5-inch drive bays should evaluate alternative form factors.

Dual Xeon 8160 24-Core Processors

The installed pair of Xeon Platinum 8160 CPUs delivers 24 cores per socket at 2.1 GHz base and 3.7 GHz turbo, defining the compute ceiling for this blade. LGA 3647 sockets and a maximum of two processors mean no further CPU expansion is possible within this unit. Memory scaling to 2 TB is supported across 16 DDR4 slots when larger DIMMs are fitted.
