Dense Compute Blade

The Dell PowerEdge M640 is a half-height blade server built for high-density data centres. Two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors provide 24 cores each at 2.1 GHz base frequency. The system arrives with 512 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 16 slots.

Fit and Limits

This blade suits teams consolidating virtualization, private cloud or high-performance computing workloads into an MX or M1000e chassis. Buyers who need local NVMe storage, GPU acceleration or more than two 2.5-inch drive bays should look at other platforms.

Decisive Spec

The PERC H330 controller supports SAS and SATA drives with RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 and 50 but does not present an NVMe interface. Confirm the storage protocol your workload requires before ordering.

What bandwidth does the 10Gb dual-port network daughter card provide?

The Dell Broadcom 57810S-K blade network daughter card delivers two 10Gb Ethernet ports for 10Gb connectivity.

What physical chassis and drive bays does this blade require?

The half-height blade fits a PowerEdge MX or M1000e chassis and uses the two included 2.5" SAS/SATA caddies.

How is the PERC H330 storage controller installed and what step is often missed?

The PERC H330 mini mono controller is pre-installed; the common oversight is configuring RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 or 50 before deploying the OS.
