Dell PowerEdge MX840c Compute Sled

Powerful and flexible, four-socket double-width compute sled powered by up to four 28-core 2nd Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors. PowerEdge MX840c features a large memory footprint with up to 48 DDR4 DIMMs slots. It supports up to eight 2.5-inch SAS/SATA (HDD/SDD) or Express Flash NVMe PCIe SSD drives. The PowerEdge MX7000 chassis supports up to four MX840c servers.

• Exceptionally broad memory configuration capacities of up to 3TB (RDIMM) or 6.1TB (LRDIMM); support up to 192GB NVDIMM for large in-memory applications.
• Supports up to 24 slots for Intel® OptaneTM DC persistent memory DCPMM (12.2TB) with a maximum total capacity of 15.36TB 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.

Simplify management and intelligently automate

All PowerEdge server feature the embedded, agent-free integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) 9 with Lifecycle Controller (LC) to simplify 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 server security is built-in, not bolted-on. The MX840c delivers 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 (requires OpenManage Enterprise) 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/NVMs) and embedded flash devices.
