Dual 20-Core Xeon Gold 6230 Blade

The Dell PowerEdge M640 is a half-height blade server built for dense compute environments. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6230 processors running at 2.1 GHz with 3.9 GHz turbo, delivering 40 total cores for virtualization and high-performance computing workloads. The unit integrates into PowerEdge MX or M1000e chassis and includes iDRAC9 Enterprise for remote management.

16 GB DDR4 with 2 TB Headroom

Installed memory is 16 GB of DDR4-2666 registered ECC across two modules, leaving 14 of 16 slots open for expansion up to the platform maximum of 2 TB. Storage is handled by a PERC S140 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 across two 1.92 TB SATA SSDs in the 2.5-inch bays. The S140 also provides NVMe support for future drive upgrades.

10 Gb Dual-Port Network Daughter Card

A Broadcom 57810S-K dual-port 10 Gb blade network daughter card provides high-speed connectivity through the chassis midplane. The Matrox G200 graphics core with 8 MB video memory handles basic console output. No operating system, front bezel, or ready rails are included, so the blade is ready for immediate integration into an existing supported enclosure.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.1 GHz Xeon Gold 6230 processors and DDR4 2666 MHz memory work with my existing M1000e chassis and older blades?

The M640 fits the same M1000e mid-plane and uses identical power and cooling interfaces, so the 20-core CPUs and registered ECC DDR4 modules will operate alongside earlier blades without chassis changes.

How can I confirm the PERC S140 controller and dual 1.92 TB SATA SSDs are healthy after installation?

Use iDRAC9 Enterprise to run the storage controller self-test and view SMART data for each SSD; the controller BIOS also reports RAID 0/1/5/10 status during POST.

Does the box include the Broadcom 57810S-K 10 Gb dual-port daughter card and ready rails, or must I order them separately?

The 57810S-K 10 Gb daughter card is installed; front bezel and ready rails are not included and must be purchased separately.
