Half-width blade compute sled

The Dell PowerEdge MX740C is a half-width blade server that installs in a modular chassis. It carries two Intel Gold 6134 processors at 3.2 GHz with eight cores each and 24.75M cache. Memory capacity is 512 GB DDR4 across sixteen 32 GB modules at PC4-2933 speed.

Suited for dense virtualisation

This configuration suits environments that need high core counts and large memory in a compact sled. The six 480 GB SATA SSDs on an H730P MX controller provide redundant local storage. Buyers who need more drive bays or a different storage interface should look at other form factors.

Deciding spec: 512 GB DDR4 in sixteen slots

The installed memory uses all sixteen DIMM slots with 32 GB modules at PC4-2933. Any future expansion requires replacing existing modules rather than adding to empty slots.
