PowerEdge MX840c is a scalable high performance modular server. Elastic compute resources for database-driven mission critical applications and performance workloads in a 4-socket, double-width sled.

Set the foundation for the modern data center
Designed for Dell EMC’s PowerEdge MX kinetic infrastructure ecosystem, the PowerEdge MX840c server, with dense compute, exceptionally large memory capacity and highly expandable storage subsystem, delivers the flexibility and agility needed in demanding, shared-resource environments.

• Double-width; up to four sleds per PowerEdge MX7000 chassis.
• Two or four, up to 28-core Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors per sled, up to 448 cores per chassis.
• Up to 48 DDR4 DIMMs slots, 6 TB max memory and speeds up to 2667MT/s; up to 192 DIMMS per chassis for up to 24.5TB max memory.
• Up to eight 2.5” drive bays for SAS/SATA (HDD/SDD) and NVMe PCIe SSD support plus optional M.2 boot.

Dynamically configure for optimal workload performance and efficiency
PowerEdge MX architecture disaggregates and granularly reassigns resources, maximizing utilization, minimizing overprovisioning and stranded infrastructure. PowerEdge MX840c fully configurable, no compromise compute maximizes scalability to enhance workload performance and optimization.

• Powerful, latest generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processor family that deliver 27% more cores and 50% increase in bandwidth over the previous generation of processors.
• Flexible memory configurations from capacities of 8GB to 6TB; RDIMMs and LRDIMMs for reduced memory loading and greater density.
• Large, high-performance onboard storage footprint with double the HDD drives per compute sled.

Intelligently automate to accelerate deployment and provisioning
Deploy and provision PowerEdge MX servers faster and automate daily operations with agent-free lifecycle management. Unify and simplify management of compute, storage and fabric with Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise - Modular Edition within the MX7000 chassis.

• Up to four times more performance with integrated Dell Remote Access Controller 9 (iDRAC9) for easy lifecycle management from deploy to retirement.
• Sixteen fewer steps and 30% time savings to perform basic server setup using Android or Apple mobile device with Quick Sync 2.
• Full Lifecycle Management of more than 5,000 nodes within 611 chassis over 7 continents simultaneously on a single OpenManage Enterprise console.

Integrate innovation to maximize longevity and minimize disruption
PowerEdge MX infrastructure’s responsive and future-ready design mitigates the uncertainty of planning for future workload and data center needs. Thermal architecture, unique no mid plane design, forward thinking mechanical design and control algorithms for dense configurations allows for emerging technologies to easily integrate with existing infrastructure.

• Multi-generational assurance for at least three sever processor microarchitecture generations.
• More effective cooling and non-disruptive fabric upgrades with the no mid plane design - direct compute to I/O connections.
• Simplified storage capacity expansion with the PowerEdge MX5016s which accommodates up to sixteen 2.5” hot-pluggable SAS drives that can be granularly assigned to servers.
