Half-height blade for dense compute

The Dell PowerEdge M640 is a half-height blade server built for the PowerEdge MX and M1000e chassis. It ships with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8260 processors running at 2.4 GHz with a 3.9 GHz turbo frequency. Each processor delivers 24 cores, and the system includes 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across four modules.

Suits virtualisation clusters, not GPU workloads

This configuration targets organisations that need high core counts in a compact blade form factor for virtualisation, private cloud or high-performance computing. The Matrox G200 graphics controller with 8 MB video memory provides only basic display output, so the server is not suited for workloads requiring GPU acceleration or graphical processing power.

Dual 1.92 TB SATA SSDs on PERC S140

Storage is handled by a Dell PERC S140 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 across the two installed 1.92 TB SATA solid-state drives. The controller also supports SAS and NVMe devices, allowing future expansion within the blade's two 2.5-inch drive bays.

Questions about this item

How do I decide between the 64 GB DDR4 configuration and the maximum 1.5 TB capacity?

The server ships with 64 GB across four 16 GB DDR4 2933 MHz modules. Sixteen slots are available, so you can add up to 1.5 TB of registered ECC DDR4 as workloads grow.

What does the 2.4 GHz base and 3.9 GHz turbo on the Xeon Platinum 8260 mean for actual workloads?

Each of the two 24-core processors runs at 2.4 GHz base clock and can boost to 3.9 GHz under load, giving up to 56 total cores for virtualization, cloud or HPC tasks.

How does the PERC S140 controller limit the 1.92 TB SATA SSDs in practice?

The S140 provides integrated SATA and NVMe support with RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10, capping drive throughput at the SATA 6 Gb/s link speed of the installed 2.5" SSDs.
