Blade density and dual-socket compute

The PowerEdge M640 is a half-height blade server built for the M1000e or MX chassis. Two Intel Xeon Gold 6150 processors deliver 36 total cores at 2.7 GHz with a 3.7 GHz turbo, targeting virtualization clusters and high-performance workloads. Buyers who need a tower or rack-mount form factor cannot use this blade.

Controller, networking and remote management

The PERC H330 provides 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity with RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 and 50 across two 2.5-inch drive bays. A Broadcom 57810S-K daughter card adds dual-port 10 Gb Ethernet, while iDRAC9 Enterprise enables full out-of-band control. The system ships without an operating system, front bezel or rails.

Memory ceiling and storage interface limits

Sixteen DDR4 slots support up to 1.5 TB of registered ECC memory at 2666 MHz. The H330 controller does not present NVMe drives to the operating system, so flash acceleration requires a different controller. Maximum processor count is fixed at two sockets.

Questions about this item

When will the DDR4 memory or PERC H330 controller need replacement in this PowerEdge M640?

The 512GB DDR4 2666MHz ECC memory uses 16 slots of 32GB each; the PERC H330 controller manages the two 2.5" SAS/SATA drive bays with RAID 0/1/5/10/50.

What limit appears first under sustained load with the dual Xeon Gold 6150 18-core CPUs?

Two 2.7GHz 18-core Xeon Gold 6150 processors reach 56 cores total at 3.7GHz turbo; memory caps at 2TB across 16 slots.

How much power and heat does the blade produce when running all day in the chassis?

Dual 18-core Xeon Gold 6150 CPUs at 2.7GHz base with 3.7GHz turbo, 512GB DDR4 across 16 slots, and dual 10Gb Ethernet ports draw power and generate heat inside the M1000e or MX chassis.
