DELL PowerEdge M640 Blade Server 2x Xeon Gold 6154 3.0GHz 18C 32GB DDR4 2x 960GB SSD

Blade Server for Dense Compute

The Dell EMC PowerEdge M640 is a half-height blade server built for high-density data centre racks. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6154 processors running at 3.0 GHz with a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. Each CPU provides 18 cores, giving 36 cores total for virtualization, private cloud or high-performance computing workloads. The system includes 32 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across four modules.

Thermals Noise and Power in Normal Use

As a blade, the M640 relies on the shared cooling infrastructure of a PowerEdge MX or M1000e chassis rather than onboard fans. Power draw scales with the dual 18-core CPUs and the installed DDR4 memory under typical virtualization loads. Acoustic output is determined by the chassis fans, not the blade itself. The integrated Dell PERC S140 controller manages the two 960 GB SATA SSDs with minimal overhead.

Blade Chassis Compatibility Requirement

This server only operates inside a compatible Dell PowerEdge MX or M1000e blade enclosure, which supplies power, cooling and fabric interconnects. Buyers who do not already own or plan to purchase a supported chassis cannot use this blade. The unit includes a Broadcom 57810S-K dual-port 10 Gb network daughter card and iDRAC9 Enterprise for remote management, but ships without front bezel or ready rails.
