Half-width blade server with dual Silver 4210 CPUs

The Dell PowerEdge MX740C is a half-width blade server that installs in a compatible modular chassis. It ships with two Intel Silver 4210 processors, each running at 2.2 GHz with 10 cores and 14 MB cache. The system includes 512 GB of DDR4 memory configured as 16 modules of 32 GB PC4-2933.

Suited for compute-heavy workloads needing dense

This server suits environments that require high core counts and large memory capacity in a compact blade form factor. It is not for buyers who need more than six 2.5-inch drive bays or who require an internal optical drive. The I/O fabric bays for networking and storage switching are not included and must be sourced separately.

Storage configured with four 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives

The installed storage consists of four 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives managed by an H730P MX RAID controller. The chassis supports a maximum of six 2.5-inch drives, leaving two bays available for expansion. Remote management is provided by iDRAC9 Express, and a dual-port 10/25 Gb SFP28 mezzanine card is fitted for network connectivity.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the MX740C is operating correctly after installation?

Check the iDRAC9 Express dashboard for green health status on both Silver 4210 CPUs, all 16 DDR4 modules and the H730P MX RAID controller; verify the 4x 2.4TB SAS drives report optimal in the array.

What ships with the MX740C and which parts must I source separately?

The half-width blade arrives with 2x Silver 4210 processors, 512GB DDR4 in 16x 32GB sticks, 4x 2.4TB 10K SAS drives, H730P MX controller and one MX XXV710 10/25Gb SFP28 mezzanine card; Fabric A, B and C switch bays are not included.

Which drive capacity should I select for the remaining MX740C bays?

The chassis supports 6x 2.5" bays total; four are filled with 2.4TB 10K SAS drives, so add matching 2.4TB SAS units to keep spindle speed and capacity consistent across the H730P MX array.
