Blade server for dense compute

The Dell PowerEdge M640 blade installs two Xeon Silver 4216 processors at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores each and 256 GB of DDR4 memory. Integrated iDRAC9 Enterprise provides full remote management. Two 4 TB SATA drives connect through a PERC H330 SAS storage controller.

Suits workloads that fit two drives

This blade suits workloads that fit within two 2.5-inch drive bays and a 1 TB memory ceiling. Buyers who want more storage bays or larger memory capacity should look at other platforms. The fixed two-processor limit also rules out future CPU expansion.

Maximum memory of 1 TB

The system supports up to 1 TB of DDR4 across its DIMM slots. The installed 256 GB leaves headroom for growth, but the 1 TB ceiling is the deciding figure for memory-hungry applications.
