Dense compute blade

The Dell PowerEdge MX740C is a half-width rack blade that fits into a modular chassis. Two Intel Silver 4210 processors run at 2.2 GHz with ten cores each and 14 MB cache. 512 GB of DDR4 memory is installed across sixteen 32 GB modules at PC4-2933 speed.

Thermal and power profile

The blade relies on shared chassis cooling so fan noise and airflow depend on the enclosure configuration. Dual 10-core CPUs and six SATA SSDs draw steady power under typical virtualisation or database workloads. iDRAC9 Express provides remote power monitoring and thermal alerts without a local display.

Storage and fabric ready

An H730P RAID controller manages the six 1.92 TB SATA SSDs with hardware RAID levels. One MX XXV710 mezzanine card delivers dual 10/25 Gb SFP28 ports for high-speed fabric connectivity. Fabric A, B and C switch bays are not included, so buyers who need additional switching must source those modules separately.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 6x 1.92TB SATA SSDs into the MX740C half-width blade, and what step is often missed?

Slide each 2.5-inch drive into the front bays until the latch clicks, then use iDRAC9 Express to create the virtual disk on the H730P controller before the OS sees the volume.

What maintenance will the 512GB DDR4 memory and the Silver 4210 processors need over time?

The 16x 32GB DDR4 modules and dual 10-core CPUs have no scheduled replacement; keep firmware current via iDRAC9 Express and monitor thermal sensors for dust buildup.

Which limit appears first when the MX XXV710 10/25Gb mezzanine card runs sustained 25Gb traffic?

The dual-port SFP28 mezzanine caps at 25Gb per port, so sustained line-rate traffic will hit that bandwidth ceiling before the H730P or CPU resources saturate.
