Dell M640 Blade Server

This Dell PowerEdge M640 is a dual-processor blade server designed for dense compute environments. It ships with two Xeon Gold 6242 CPUs running at 2.8 GHz and 192 GB of DDR4 memory installed. The unit includes a PERC H330 SAS storage controller and integrated iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management for out-of-band administration.

Suited for scale-out workloads

The configuration suits deployments that need high core density and fast local storage in a half-height blade form factor. Buyers who require GPU acceleration or more than two internal drive bays should look at alternative platforms. The integrated 10 GbE adapter covers high-throughput networking without extra mezzanine cards.

Two 900 GB SAS drives installed

Storage capacity is provided by two 2.5-inch 900 GB SAS hard drives connected to the H330 controller. The chassis supports a maximum of two drives, so total raw capacity is fixed at 1.8 TB unless external storage is added. Memory can be expanded up to 1 TB across the available DIMM slots.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 192 GB DDR4 configuration or add more memory up to the 1 TB maximum?

The server ships with 192 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory installed. The platform supports up to 1 TB total, so you can expand later if your workloads grow beyond the current capacity.

What does the 2.8 GHz Xeon Gold 6242 speed deliver in this dual-socket blade?

Two Xeon Gold 6242 processors at 2.8 GHz give 16 cores per socket for multi-threaded applications such as virtualization, databases or compute clusters.

How does the PERC H330 SAS controller and 10 GbE 562T adapter affect storage and network throughput?

The PERC H330 manages the two 900 GB SAS 2.5" 10K drives in RAID, while the dual-port 10 GbE 562T adapter provides up to 10 Gbps network bandwidth per port.
