Dell PowerEdge MX840C 4 x 18 Core 2.60GHz Gold 6240 256GB 2 x 600GB 10K SAS H730P

The Dell PowerEdge MX840C, a dynamic four-socket double-width compute sled, exemplifies cutting-edge technology designed to tackle demanding data center challenges. Equipped with four 28-core 2nd Generation Intel® Xeon® Gold 6240 processors, this server maximizes performance across a broad range of applications. The MX840C is highly configurable, supporting up to 48 DDR4 DIMM slots and accommodating up to 6.1TB of LR-DIMM or 3TB of RDIMM memory. Additionally, it supports innovative storage solutions including up to eight 2.5-inch SAS/SATA drives or Express Flash NVMe PCIe SSDs, enhanced by Intel® Optane™ DC persistent memory capabilities which expand total capacity up to 15.36TB.

Management and operational efficiency are streamlined through the integration of Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise – Modular Edition, which provides a comprehensive in-chassis management system. This system utilizes an agent-free iDRAC 9 controller that simplifies server lifecycle management across the PowerEdge MX7000 server chassis, enhancing deployment and maintenance capabilities without depending on operating system or hypervisor integration. This intelligent automation is crucial for modern data centers, reducing complexity and fostering more efficient system administration.

Security within the PowerEdge MX840C is robust, leveraging a silicon-based root of trust to ensure system integrity from the ground up. The server features secure boot, system lockdown to prevent unauthorized changes, and cryptographically signed firmware updates to protect against cyber threats. These security measures, combined with Dell EMC’s Cyber Resilient Architecture, provide a secure foundation that mitigates risk while maintaining high availability and reliability. This architecture makes the MX840C an ideal solution for enterprises requiring a high-performance, scalable server that adheres to stringent security standards.
