Blade Server for Virtualisation and HPC

The Dell PowerEdge M640 is a half-height blade server built for dense compute workloads such as virtualisation, private cloud and high-performance computing. Two Intel Xeon Gold 6230 processors provide 20 cores each at 2.1 GHz with 3.9 GHz turbo. The system ships with 32 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across four modules.

PERC H330 Controller and Dual 10 Gb Networking

A Dell PERC H330 storage controller supports SATA and SAS drives with RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 10 and 50. Two 1.92 TB SATA SSDs are installed in the 2.5 inch bays. The Broadcom 57810S-K daughter card adds dual-port 10 Gb Ethernet connectivity. The blade fits PowerEdge MX and M1000e chassis for scalable deployment.

iDRAC9 Enterprise and Ready-to-Rack

iDRAC9 Enterprise delivers comprehensive remote management and automation for simplified administration. The unit includes the front bezel and ready rails are not included. No operating system is pre-installed, allowing immediate configuration for the target environment.

Questions about this item

What drive interface does the PERC H330 controller use, and what throughput does it cap at?

The PERC H330 is a 12Gb/s SAS/SATA controller, so SATA SSDs run at their native 6Gb/s limit.

What chassis slot height and drive bay count does this blade require?

It is a half-height blade with two 2.5-inch drive bays, compatible with PowerEdge MX and M1000e chassis.

How is the blade installed, and which step is often missed?

Slide the blade into an empty half-height slot until the latch clicks, then use iDRAC9 Enterprise to complete BIOS and RAID setup — skipping the iDRAC configuration leaves the server unmanaged.
