DELL PowerEdge M640 blade server 2x Xeon 8160 24C 128GB 2x 1.92TB H330 57810S-K iDRAC9 Enterprise

Dual-socket blade server for dense compute

The Dell PowerEdge M640 is a half-height blade designed for the PowerEdge M1000e and MX chassis. Two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors provide 24 cores each at 2.1 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo, backed by 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 16 slots. A PERC H330 controller manages two 1.92 TB SATA SSDs with RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 and 50 support. The Broadcom 57810S-K dual-port 10 Gb network daughter card and iDRAC9 Enterprise complete the package.

Virtualisation and HPC clusters needing maximum

This configuration suits teams consolidating virtual machines, running private-cloud stacks or executing high-performance compute jobs where core density in a half-height blade is the priority. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, direct NVMe attachment or more than two 2.5-inch drives should look at a different platform, as this blade has neither PCIe expansion nor additional drive bays.

Half-height blade form factor for M1000e

The single specification that determines fit is the half-height blade format, which only installs in a Dell PowerEdge M1000e or MX series chassis with available blade slots and matching fabric modules.
