Dell M640 Blade Server

This Dell PowerEdge M640 blade server arrives new with two Xeon Gold 6240Y processors running at 2.6 GHz and 128 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. A PERC H330 SAS storage controller manages the installed drives, and iDRAC9 Enterprise provides remote management.

Who this suits

Organisations that need a dense, two-socket blade for virtualised workloads or database tasks will find the 18-core CPUs and 128 GB RAM a strong starting point. Buyers who need more than two 2.5-inch drive bays, a different RAID level, or GPU acceleration should look at other configurations.

Deciding specification

The server includes two 300 GB 10K SAS hard drives, giving 600 GB of raw capacity. If your application requires larger or faster storage, you must plan for a different drive set.

Questions about this item

Does the blade ship with the 2× 300 GB 10 K SAS drives and PERC H330 controller already installed, or must I add them?

The unit arrives with two 300 GB 10 K SAS 2.5″ drives and the PERC H330 RAID controller fitted; no extra storage parts are required to start.

Should I choose the dual 18-core Xeon Gold 6240Y at 2.6 GHz or a different CPU option for this M640?

This configuration is fixed with two 18-core Xeon Gold 6240Y processors at 2.6 GHz; the M640 supports a maximum of two sockets, so no other CPU choice applies to this listing.

What does the 128 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory mean for actual workloads on this blade?

You get 128 GB of DDR4 ECC registered RAM across the two sockets, leaving headroom to expand to the 1 TB maximum if virtualization or database demands grow.
