DELL PowerEdge M640 Blade Server 2x Xeon Gold 6230 20C 2.1GHz 512GB DDR4 2x 1.92TB SATA 57810S-K iDRAC9 Ent

High-density blade for virtualization and HPC

The Dell EMC PowerEdge M640 is a half-height blade server built for dense compute clusters. It fits into PowerEdge MX or M1000e chassis and targets workloads such as virtualization, private cloud and high-performance computing. Two Intel Xeon Gold 6230 processors supply 20 cores each at 2.1 GHz with 3.9 GHz turbo. Buyers needing GPU acceleration or desktop-style expansion slots will not find them here.

Dual CPUs, 512 GB DDR4 and dual 10 Gb ports

Sixteen 32 GB DDR4 registered ECC modules fill every slot for 512 GB total, leaving no room for further memory growth without removing modules. The integrated PERC S140 controller manages two 1.92 TB SATA SSDs in RAID 0, 1, 5 or 10. A Broadcom 57810S-K daughter card adds dual 10 Gb network ports. The Matrox G200 graphics with 8 MB video memory serves only basic console output.

Replaces older blades when core count

This configuration upgrades from earlier half-height blades that max out at lower core counts or smaller memory ceilings. The jump is worth it when consolidation ratios demand 56 cores per server and 1.5 TB memory capacity headroom. iDRAC9 Enterprise enables remote lifecycle automation. Organisations without a compatible MX or M1000e chassis cannot deploy this blade.
