DELL PowerEdge MX760C 2x Gold 6526Y 2.8GHz 16C 64GB 4x 480GB SSD H755 MX

Half-Width Blade Server

The Dell PowerEdge MX760C is a half-width blade server designed for dense compute clusters. It ships with dual Intel Gold 6526Y processors running at 2.8GHz, each providing 16 cores and 37.5M cache. The system includes 64GB of DDR4 memory across four 16GB modules operating at PC5-5600 speed.

Sustained Workload Performance

Dual 16-core CPUs and the H755 MX RAID controller maintain throughput for virtualisation and database tasks over long periods. Four 480GB SATA SSDs deliver consistent read and write latency without the thermal throttling seen on smaller drives. The iDRAC9 Express module enables remote monitoring and firmware updates without taking the blade offline.

Upgrade Path and Fit

This blade replaces older half-width compute sleds that max out at lower core counts or slower interconnects. The 25Gb CNA mezzanine card lifts network bottlenecks for storage-heavy workloads. Buyers who need more than six 2.5-inch drive bays or require on-board optical media should evaluate full-width alternatives.
