DELL PowerEdge MX740C rack server 2× Gold 6132 2.6GHz 14C 512GB 2× 2.4TB 10K SAS H730P MX

Half-width blade server

The Dell PowerEdge MX740C is a half-width blade server built for dense compute clusters. Dual Intel Gold 6132 processors deliver 28 cores at 2.6 GHz. Installed memory reaches 512 GB across 16 DDR4 modules. Two 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives and an H730P MX controller handle local storage.

Compute-heavy workloads; not for storage density

This blade suits virtualisation hosts, database nodes and HPC tasks that demand high core counts and large memory footprints. The MX XXV710 mezzanine card adds 10/25 Gb SFP28 connectivity. Buyers who need more than six 2.5-inch drive bays or who require Fibre Channel fabrics should look at other chassis configurations.

512 GB DDR4 memory capacity

The single specification that decides fit is the 512 GB DDR4 installation at 2933 MT/s. Workloads that fit within this limit run without memory pressure; larger datasets will require a different platform. iDRAC9 Express provides remote management for the deployed blade.
