Dell PowerEdge MX740C Blade Server

The Dell PowerEdge MX740C is a half-width blade server built for dense compute deployments. It ships without drives, memory, or I/O modules, so integrators can populate the chassis with exactly the components the workload requires. The onboard H730P MX controller handles RAID duties for up to six 2.5-inch bays.

Suits integrators who configure their own compute

Buyers who need a ready-to-run server with drives, memory and fabric modules already installed should look elsewhere. The half-width form factor also means this sled will not fit full-width blade slots or standalone rack enclosures.

H730P MX RAID controller with six 2.5-inch bays

The storage controller and bay count are the decisive specification: the H730P MX manages RAID across up to six 2.5-inch drives, so capacity and performance scale with the drives you add. No drives or trays are included, so that selection completes the storage subsystem.
