DELL PowerEdge MX740C rack server 2x Silver 4210 2.2GHz 10C 512GB 4x 1.92TB SATA SSD H730P

Dell PowerEdge MX740C Half-Width Blade

The Dell PowerEdge MX740C is a half-width blade server fitted with two Intel Silver 4210 processors at 2.2GHz, 10 cores each. It ships with 512GB of DDR4 memory across 16 modules at 2933 MT/s. The system includes a PERC H730P RAID controller and four 1.92TB SATA SSDs. Remote management is provided by iDRAC9 Express.

Suits Compute-Dense Virtualisation

This configuration targets environments that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a compact blade form factor. The dual 10-core CPUs and 512GB of RAM support heavy virtualisation or in-memory databases. Buyers who need more than six 2.5-inch drive bays or who require additional fabric switch modules not included here should look at other chassis options.

512GB DDR4 Memory Capacity Decides Fit

The installed 512GB of DDR4 memory is the key specification that determines whether this blade meets workload requirements. Applications sized for larger memory footprints will not fit, while lighter workloads may leave capacity unused. The four 1.92TB SATA SSDs on the H730P controller provide the baseline storage foundation.
