DELL PowerEdge MX740C Rack Server 2x Gold 6134 3.2GHz 8C 512GB 4x 1.92TB SATA SSD H730P MX

Compute density for dense racks

The Dell PowerEdge MX740C is a half-width blade that fits two Intel Gold 6134 processors running at 3.2GHz with eight cores each. It ships with 512GB of DDR4 memory across sixteen 32GB modules at 2933 MT/s. The chassis provides six 2.5-inch drive bays, four of which are populated with 1.92TB SATA SSDs behind an H730P MX RAID controller.

Sustained throughput with hardware RAID

The H730P MX controller manages the four SSDs with dedicated cache, keeping write latency steady during extended database or virtualisation workloads. Dual Gold 6134 CPUs deliver sixteen cores and 24.75MB cache per processor, allowing parallel threads to scale without thermal throttling in a shared MX chassis. The 10/25Gb SFP28 mezzanine card maintains network bandwidth for storage replication or cluster traffic over long periods.

Modular I/O and remote control

Fabric A, B and C bays accept redundant switch or pass-through modules that are not included, so connectivity is defined at deployment time. The iDRAC9 Express port gives out-of-band access for firmware updates, power cycling and console redirection without a local keyboard or monitor. No optical drive is present, so operating-system installation relies on network boot or USB media.
