DELL PowerEdge MX760C rack server 2x Gold 6438Y+ 2.0GHz 32C 256GB 2x 2.4TB 10K SAS

Dual Intel Gold 6438Y+ compute blade

The PowerEdge MX760C is a half-width rack blade built for dense virtualization and database clusters. Two 32-core processors at 2.0 GHz deliver 64 total cores with 60 MB cache each. 256 GB of DDR4 memory across 16 modules supports large working sets. The H755 MX RAID controller manages the installed 2.4 TB 10K SAS drives.

Sustained throughput on 10K SAS storage

Under continuous load the 10K SAS spindles maintain steady IOPS for mixed read-write workloads. The H755 MX controller caches hot data to smooth latency spikes during extended batch jobs. Dual 25 Gb CNA mezzanine links keep fabric congestion low when multiple blades stream data simultaneously. iDRAC9 Express provides constant health telemetry without host overhead.

Blade form factor limits expansion density

The half-width chassis fits six 2.5-inch bays but only two are populated, leaving four slots for future capacity. Fabric A and B switch bays are not included, so east-west traffic requires separate modules. Fabric C storage bays are also absent, restricting direct-attached array options. No optical drive means OS installs rely on network or USB media.
