Blade Server for Dense Compute

The Dell PowerEdge M640 is a half-height blade server built for high-density data-centre deployments. It arrives with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors, 128 GB of DDR4 memory and a PERC H330 storage controller. Two 960 GB SATA SSDs and a Broadcom 57810S-K 10 Gb dual-port network daughter card are included. iDRAC9 Enterprise provides remote management.

Suits Virtualisation and HPC Clusters

This configuration targets workloads such as virtualisation, private cloud and high-performance computing that benefit from many cores and fast local storage. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, more than two internal drives or a different networking speed should evaluate other platforms. The blade format also requires a compatible PowerEdge MX or M1000e chassis, which is not included.

Dual Xeon Platinum 8160 24-Core CPUs

The installed processors run at 2.1 GHz base with a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency and provide 24 cores each. This core count and clock profile determine the parallel throughput available for the intended workloads. Memory capacity can be expanded to 1.5 TB across 16 DDR4 slots if the application demands more RAM.

Questions about this item

Which chassis models accept this half-height blade server?

It fits the PowerEdge MX and M1000e chassis, occupying a single half-height slot.

What is the correct memory population rule for the 16 DDR4 slots?

Install registered ECC modules in matched pairs per processor; the board has 16 slots supporting up to 1.5TB total.

When should the 2.5-inch 960GB SATA SSDs be replaced under typical write workloads?

Plan replacement when SMART media-wear indicators approach the rated endurance limit; the drives are hot-swappable.
