DELL PowerEdge M640 Blade Server 2x Xeon Gold 6142 384GB DDR4 2x 900GB SAS

Dual-Socket Xeon Gold 6142 Blade Server

The Dell PowerEdge M640 is a dual-socket blade server built around two Intel Xeon Gold 6142 processors running at 2.6 GHz. It ships with 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and two 900 GB SAS 10K hard drives managed by a PERC H330 RAID controller. The unit includes integrated graphics, a 10 GbE two-port 562T adapter and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management in a 2.5-inch drive form factor.

Suits High-Memory Virtualisation And Database Work

This configuration suits environments that need dense compute and large memory capacity within a blade chassis, such as virtualisation clusters or in-memory databases. Buyers who require more than two internal drives or who need GPU acceleration for compute workloads should look at a different platform because the blade only supports two 2.5-inch bays and provides integrated graphics only.

Two-Drive Bay Limit Defines Storage Scaling

The single specification that decides fit is the two-drive bay limit: only two 2.5-inch SAS drives can be installed internally. If the deployment requires additional local disks, a separate storage array or a server with more bays is necessary.
