Blade server with dual Xeon Gold 6238

The Dell PowerEdge M640 is a two-socket blade server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 6238 processors running at 2.1 GHz. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and two 4 TB SATA 2.5-inch hard drives managed by a PERC H330 RAID controller. Remote administration is handled through iDRAC9 Enterprise.

Suited for dense compute clusters needing large

This blade fits environments that consolidate many virtual machines or containers onto a single node and can work within the 256 GB memory ceiling. Buyers who require more than 1 TB of RAM per server, additional drive bays beyond the two 2.5-inch slots, or discrete GPU acceleration should evaluate other form factors.

256 GB DDR4 installed, expandable to 1 TB

The system arrives with 256 GB of DDR4 SDRAM populated across the available DIMM slots and supports a maximum of 1 TB. Memory type and generation are fixed to DDR4, so any future upgrades must use compatible DDR4 ECC registered modules.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 256 GB DDR4 configuration or upgrade toward the 1 TB maximum?

The system ships with 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory installed; the platform supports up to 1 TB total, so choose the larger capacity only if your workloads need more than the factory amount.

What does the 2.1 GHz Xeon Gold 6238 frequency deliver in this blade?

Each of the two Gold 6238 processors runs at 2.1 GHz with 22 cores and 30.25 MB cache, providing the compute throughput for virtualization, database or high-performance tasks in a single M640 sled.

How does the PERC H330 controller and SATA interface affect the 2×4 TB drives?

The PERC H330 SAS RAID controller manages the two 4 TB SATA 2.5-inch drives, capping each drive at the SATA 6 Gb/s link speed while providing hardware RAID 0, 1 or JBOD for the blade.
