DELL PowerEdge R240 XL Motherboard Intel C242 0KFFK

Server Motherboard for PowerEdge R240 XL

This motherboard is the Intel C242-based system board for the Dell PowerEdge R240 XL server. It provides the foundation for a 1U rack platform aimed at small to medium business workloads such as virtualization and data management. The board integrates dual 1GbE Broadcom BCM5720 controllers and an integrated SATA controller supporting up to four drives. Rear I/O includes two USB 3.0 ports, two RJ-45 ports, VGA, a serial port and an iDRAC Direct micro-USB connection.

Processor and Expansion Fit

It suits IT teams building or repairing a PowerEdge R240 XL that need support for Intel Xeon E-2100 and E-2200 series processors as well as Intel Pentium, Core i3 and Celeron CPUs. The board offers four DDR4 DIMM slots and a single PCIe 3.0 x16 slot for add-in cards such as RAID controllers. Organisations requiring more than one full-length expansion slot or memory beyond 64 GB should consider a different platform.

64 GB DDR4 ECC UDIMM Limit

The decisive specification is the 64 GB maximum DDR4 ECC UDIMM capacity across four slots running at up to 2666 MT/s. If the target workload needs more memory than this ceiling, the board will not meet the requirement.
