DELL PowerEdge M640 Blade Server 2x Xeon Gold 6142 256GB DDR4 2x 900GB SAS

Dual-socket Xeon Gold 6142 blade

The Dell PowerEdge M640 is a dual-socket blade server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 6142 processors running at 2.6 GHz with 16 cores each. It comes with 256 GB of DDR4 memory installed and supports up to 1 TB total capacity. Storage includes two 900 GB SAS 2.5-inch hard drives managed by a PERC H330 controller. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise and networking uses a 10 GbE two-port adapter.

For virtualisation hosts needing dense compute

This configuration suits environments that need high core counts in a compact blade form factor, such as virtualisation clusters or database nodes. The 256 GB of memory and dual 16-core processors provide substantial resources for multi-tenant workloads. Buyers who need more storage bays than the two internal 2.5-inch slots should look at alternative platforms. Organisations requiring GPU acceleration will not find discrete graphics support here.

Two 900 GB SAS drives installed

The server ships with exactly two 900 GB SAS hard drives in a 2.5-inch form factor. This fixed storage capacity and the SAS interface are the primary constraints for capacity planning. Any expansion beyond these two drives requires external arrays or a different chassis configuration. The PERC H330 RAID controller manages the installed drives.
