PowerEdge M640 Blade Server

The Dell PowerEdge M640 is a blade server system built for dense compute environments. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4116 processors running at 2.1 GHz, each providing 12 cores for parallel workloads.

Suited for virtualisation hosts needing maximum

This configuration delivers 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory, leaving headroom below the 1 TB ceiling. Buyers who need more storage bays than the two 2.5-inch slots provided should evaluate other platforms.

384 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory installed

The system arrives with 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory populated across the available slots. This capacity determines how many virtual machines or containers can run simultaneously without swapping.

Questions about this item

What enclosure slot width and form factor does this half-height M640 blade require?

The blade measures 22 inches in width and depth and occupies a half-height slot in a compatible Dell PowerEdge enclosure.

Which RAID controller firmware step is often missed when installing the PERC H330 with the two 900 GB SAS drives?

After seating the blade, update the PERC H330 firmware to the latest version before creating the virtual disk, otherwise the array may not initialise correctly.

When should the 384 GB of installed DDR4 ECC registered memory be expanded toward the 1 TB maximum?

Add DDR4 ECC registered modules when workloads exceed the current 384 GB capacity; the system supports up to 1 TB using compatible DDR4 RDIMMs.
