PowerEdge M640 Blade Server

The Dell EMC PowerEdge M640 is a high-density, half-height blade server built for modern data centres. It ships with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8260 processors, each running at 2.4 GHz with a 3.9 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory and a PERC H330 storage controller.

Suited For Virtualisation And Cloud

This configuration suits buyers who need dense compute for virtualisation, private cloud or high-performance computing inside a PowerEdge MX or M1000e chassis. It is not for buyers who want a standalone tower or rack-mount server, nor for those who require an operating system pre-installed.

Dual 10 Gb Network Daughter Card

Network connectivity is provided by a Broadcom 57810S-K dual-port 10 Gb blade network daughter card. The server supports SAS, SATA and NVMe drives through its two 2.5-inch caddies. Maximum memory capacity reaches 1.5 TB across 16 slots.

Questions about this item

Which chassis models accept the M640 half-height blade?

The PowerEdge M640 is a half-height blade that fits into the PowerEdge MX and M1000e chassis, providing the physical mounting and power connections it requires.

How are the two 2.5-inch drive caddies installed, and what step is often missed?

Slide each caddy into the front blade bays until the latch clicks; the step often missed is securing the latch fully so the drive stays seated during chassis vibration.

What is the maximum DDR4 memory the M640 can support for future upgrades?

The server supports up to 1.5TB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across its 16 DIMM slots, allowing expansion beyond the installed 64GB.
