Dell Supported M1000e & VRTx Blade Architecture

Dell M1000e Blade Architecture

Dell VRTX Blade Architecture

High-performance modular compute with industry-leading density

Effectively meet dynamic business needs with the PowerEdge M640. This modular blade server is designed to scale out and enable increased performance – all inside a PowerEdge VRTX chassis. Get up to 16 2nd generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable processor dual-socket compute nodes in a single chassis. The M640 is an outstanding match for data center workloads that benefit from high density and power efficiency, and for multi-server and clustered architectures.

Dell PowerEdge M710HD CTO Blade Server (for PE M1000e)

Powerful 2-socket modular architecture server

The M640 server supports today’s dynamic business needs by enabling increased scale-out performance in a Dell EMC blade server chassis. Get up to 16 Intel Xeon Scalable dual-socket compute nodes in a single chassis. The M640 is an ideal solution for customers with High Performance Computing (HPC), Anything-as-a-Service (XaaS), and private cloud applications. In data center settings that need highly-scalable, multi-server, or clustering, the density optimized M640 is an efficient solution for those designs and their various workloads.

Innovative management with intelligent automation

The OpenManage portfolio delivers peak efficiency for PowerEdge servers through intelligent, automated management of routine tasks. Combined with the unique iDRAC agent-free management capabilities, the M640 is managed easily and effectively, freeing up time for business priorities.

Enable collective or individual management of your servers with the Dell EMC Chassis Management Controller (CMC), embedded in PowerEdge VRTX and M1000e systems.
Monitor Dell EMC and 3rd party hardware with OpenManage Essentials.
Use the OpenManage Mobile app to receive and take action on hardware alerts at the server or from anywhere, at any time.

Rely on PowerEdge with integrated security

Every PowerEdge server is made with a cyber-resilient architecture, infusing security into all parts of a server’s life cycle. The M640 uses these new security features so you can reliably and securely deliver the right data to where your customers are, no matter where they are. Dell EMC considers each part of server security, from design to end of life, to ensure trust and deliver worry-free, secure systems.

Rely on a secure supply chain that ensures server protection from factory to the data center.
Maintain data security with cryptographically signed firmware packages and Secure Boot.
Prevent unauthorized or malicious change with Server Lockdown.
Wipe all data from storage media including hard drives, SSDs and system memory quickly and securely with System Erase.

Speed IT transformation with the PowerEdge portfolio

Boot Optimized Storage Subsystem (BOSS)

Two CPUs are required for the BOSS card to function.
The BOSS and IDSDM can't be installed together.

HWRAID 2 x M.2 SSDs 120GB, 240 GB with 6 Gbps. BOSS card has x8 connector using PCIe gen 2.0 x2 lanes, available only in the low-profile and half-height form factor.

IDSDM, Internal USB, vFLash

The IDSDM takes the same slot as the BOSS card and can't be installed together.

The vFlash slot is under the bNDC and only holds 1 Micro SD.

On the other side of the system board is a embedded USB slot for 1 internal USB.

PCIe Mezzanine Slots Fabric B & C

Your system supports two mezzanine cards:

Mezzanine C supports Fabric C.
This card must match the fabric type of I/O modules installed in I/O module bays C1 and C2.
Mezzanine B supports Fabric B.
This card must match the fabric type of I/O modules installed in I/O module bays B1 and B2.
