Dell PowerEdge M640 Blade Server

The Dell PowerEdge M640 is a half-height blade server built for high-density data centre deployments. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6150 processors, each offering 18 cores at 2.70 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo. The system includes 512 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 16 slots. It is designed for virtualization, private cloud and high-performance computing workloads.

Suits compute-dense racks; not for GPU workloads

This blade fits organisations running memory-intensive applications that benefit from 56 total cores and up to 1.5 TB maximum DDR4 capacity. The integrated Matrox G200 graphics with 8 MB video memory provides basic console output only. Buyers who need GPU acceleration for AI training or rendering should evaluate other platforms. The PERC S140 controller supports RAID 0/1/5/10 for SATA and NVMe drives.

Dual 10 GbE via Broadcom 57810S-K daughter card

Network connectivity is delivered through a Dell Broadcom 57810S-K dual-port 10 Gb blade network daughter card installed in the mezzanine slot. This provides two 10 Gb Ethernet links without consuming a PCIe slot. iDRAC9 Enterprise enables full remote management including virtual console and power control. The server requires a compatible PowerEdge MX or M1000e chassis for power, cooling and I/O fabric.

Questions about this item

How much compute power do the two 18-core 2.7 GHz Xeon Gold 6150 CPUs deliver in a real workload?

The pair provides 36 physical cores at 2.7 GHz base with 3.7 GHz turbo, giving strong multi-threaded throughput for virtualization, databases and HPC tasks.

What does the Broadcom 57810S-K 10 Gb dual-port daughter card actually limit in practice?

Each blade gets two 10 Gb Ethernet links, so east-west traffic and storage replication are capped at 10 Gbps per port.

What chassis slots and drive bays does this half-height blade require?

It fits a single half-height slot in a PowerEdge MX or M1000e enclosure and uses the two included 2.5" SAS/SATA caddies for local storage.
