DELL PowerEdge MX740C rack server 2x Gold 6134 3.2GHz 8C 512GB 2x 2.4TB 10K SAS H730P MX

Blade compute density

The MX740C is a half-width blade that installs in the PowerEdge MX chassis, delivering two Gold 6134 processors at 3.2 GHz with eight cores each and 512 GB of DDR4 memory across sixteen 32 GB modules. It targets compute clusters and virtualised workloads that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a shared infrastructure.

Upgrade from smaller blades

Replacing single-socket blades or older half-width models with this configuration doubles the socket count and raises memory to 512 GB, a jump that pays off when consolidation ratios or in-memory database sizes exceed the limits of the previous platform.

Sustained load behaviour

The H730P MX controller manages the dual 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives under RAID, while the MX XXV710 mezzanine card provides 10/25 Gb connectivity for steady east-west traffic. iDRAC9 Express gives remote visibility during long-running jobs without needing a separate management network.
