Half-Width Blade Server

The Dell PowerEdge MX740C is a half-width blade server built for dense compute in modular data centres. Two Intel Silver 4210 processors each run ten cores at 2.2 GHz with 14 MB cache. The system ships with 512 GB of DDR4 memory across sixteen 32 GB modules at 2933 MT/s.

Virtualisation Hosts and Database Nodes

This configuration suits virtualisation clusters, in-memory databases and high-thread-count workloads that benefit from twenty total cores and half a terabyte of RAM. Buyers who need more than six 2.5-inch drive bays or who require the missing Fabric C storage switch bays should evaluate larger chassis options.

Six 2.5-Inch Drive Bays with H730P RAID

The chassis provides six 2.5-inch bays populated by two 1.92 TB SATA SSDs behind an H730P controller. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Express and networking includes a dual-port 10/25 Gb SFP28 mezzanine card.
