Blade server for virtualization and HPC

The Dell PowerEdge M640 half-height blade fits PowerEdge MX and M1000e chassis and ships with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8260 processors, each running 24 cores at 2.40 GHz with a 3.9 GHz turbo frequency. Sixteen gigabytes of DDR4 2933 MHz registered ECC memory occupy two of the 16 available DIMM slots.

Who this suits and who it does not

This blade targets data-center teams that need dense compute for virtualization, private cloud or high-performance computing and can manage memory expansion up to the platform limit of 1.5 TB. Buyers who need more storage bays, GPU acceleration or an operating system pre-installed should evaluate other configurations.

Deciding specification: dual 1.92 TB SATA SSDs

Two 1.92 TB SATA solid-state drives connect to the PERC H330 controller, which supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 and 50 for redundancy or capacity tuning. The 10 Gb dual-port 57810S-K network daughter card and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management complete the I/O and administration baseline.

Questions about this item

Will this blade fit and run in my existing M1000e chassis alongside older PowerEdge M-series blades?

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

How can I verify the dual Xeon 8260 CPUs and 16 GB DDR4 are recognised and healthy after the blade is seated?

Log into iDRAC9 Enterprise — it displays processor core count, clock speeds, memory population and health status for both CPUs and all DIMM slots.

Which items ship with the blade and which must I order separately for a working server?

The unit includes two Xeon 8260 processors, 16 GB DDR4, two 1.92 TB SATA SSDs, PERC H330 controller and 57810S-K 10 Gb dual-port network card; front bezel, rails and operating system are not included.
