Blade server for virtualisation and HPC

The Dell PowerEdge M640 is a half-height blade that fits into PowerEdge MX or M1000e chassis. Two Intel Xeon Platinum 8260 processors run at 2.4 GHz with a 3.9 GHz turbo and provide 24 cores each for virtualisation, private cloud or high-performance computing workloads.

Suits density-focused racks.

This blade targets data-centre operators who need maximum compute density in a shared chassis with integrated networking. It is not suited for buyers who need a self-contained rackmount or tower server with its own power supplies and front bezel.

Dual 10 Gb network daughter card for fabric

A Dell Broadcom 57810S-K dual-port 10 Gb blade network daughter card is installed, providing high-speed fabric connectivity without consuming a PCIe slot. The 57810S-K part number identifies the exact mezzanine card fitted.

Questions about this item

Will the M640 blade fit in my existing PowerEdge M1000e chassis alongside older blades?

Yes. The M640 is a half-height blade designed for both PowerEdge MX and M1000e chassis, so it installs in the same enclosure as earlier M-series blades.

How can I confirm the two Xeon 8260 processors and 32 GB of DDR4 are recognised after installation?

Open the iDRAC9 Enterprise web console or check the BIOS during POST; both show 2 processors, 24 cores each, and 32 GB total memory.

Which drives, network card and management licence are included, and what must I add?

The blade ships with 2 x 960 GB SATA SSDs, a Broadcom 57810S-K dual-port 10 Gb daughter card and iDRAC9 Enterprise. You must supply a compatible chassis, power supplies and any additional memory or storage.
