Dell PowerEdge MX740c Compute Sled

A fully configurable single-width compute sled powered by up to two-28-core 2nd Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors. Each PowerEdge MX740c supports 24 DDR4 DIMM slots and up to six 2.5-inch SAS/SATA (HDD/SDD) or Express Flash NVMe PCIe SSDs drives. A maximum of eight MX740c servers can be installed in the PowerEdge MX7000 chassis.

• Flexible memory configurations from capacities of up to 1.5TB (RDIMM) or 3TB (LRDIMM); support up to 192GB NVDIMM for large in-memory applications
• Supports up to 12 slots for Intel® OptaneTM DC persistent memory DCPMM (6.1TB) with a maximum total capacity of 7.68TB per server.
• Choice of optional M.2 Boot Optimized Storage Solution (BOSS) or Internal Dual microSD Module (IDSDM), to streamline operating system and data storage.
• Option of Express Flash NVMe PCIe SSD for high performing direct attached storage requirements

Intelligently automate to accelerate operations

As with every PowerEdge server, embedded, agent-free integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) 9 with Lifecycle Controller (LC) simplifies server systems management. Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise – Modular Edition (OME-Modular) provides comprehensive in-system management within the PowerEdge MX7000 server chassis. Delivering key abilities of OpenManage Enterprise systems management, OME-Modular unified web/RESTful API interface manages the entire PowerEdge MX environment, including computer, storage and networking.

• Deploy, monitor, manage, configure, update, troubleshoot and remediate Dell EMC servers from any location, regardless of operating system or hypervisor presence or state.
• Speed systems management performance with enhanced iDRAC9 processor, up to four times better performance over the prior generation.

Securely run IT operations and workloads

PowerEdge servers deliver an immutable silicon-based chain of trust and combines it with comprehensive management tools to provide robust layers of security across hardware and firmware. The result is an integrated Cyber-Resilient Architecture that provides a hardened server design to protect, detect and recover from cyber-attacks.

• Signed firmware updates using SHA-256 hashing with 2048-bit RSA encryption for signature for all key server components.
• System Lockdown to prevent unauthorized configuration or firmware changes to a server when using Dell EMC tools.
• System erase to, with proper authentication, securely and quickly erase data form local storage (HDD/SSD/NVMe) and embedded flash devices.
