Blade Server for Virtualization and HPC

The Dell PowerEdge M640 is a half-height blade server built for dense compute clusters. Two Xeon Platinum 8260 processors provide 24 cores each at 2.4 GHz with 3.9 GHz turbo. 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory is installed across 16 slots, expandable to 1.5 TB. The PERC S140 controller manages SATA or NVMe drives in the two 2.5-inch bays.

Fits MX and M1000e Chassis Buyers.

This blade requires a compatible Dell PowerEdge MX or M1000e enclosure for power, cooling and fabric connectivity. It suits teams expanding an existing blade farm or building a new high-density cluster. Buyers who need a self-contained rack server with integrated power supplies and front I/O should look at a different form factor.

Dual 10 Gb Network Daughter Card

A Broadcom 57810S-K dual-port 10 Gb blade network daughter card is installed, providing the primary east-west and north-south connectivity for the blade. The S140 storage controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 across the two drive bays. iDRAC9 Enterprise enables full out-of-band management and automation.
