7 PowerEdge M420 Technical Guide

2 System features

Compared to the previous generation of Dell PowerEdge blade servers, the M420 has similar

memory scalability, as well as more processor cores in a much denser form factor than ever before.

Features include DDR3 memory, PCIe 3.0, dual internal SD module, and Dell’s next-generation

iDRAC solution known as iDRAC7 Enterprise with Lifecycle Controller.

Comparison of PowerEdge systems

The PowerEdge M420 is a 2-socket, quarter-height blade server that delivers an extraordinary

balance of value and performance for mainstream business applications, with no compromise on

enterprise-class features.

 Designed for exceptionally dense computational environments where space is at an absolute

premium. Best fit for space and/or power conscious, highly available, ultra-dense nodes.

 Housed within the PowerEdge M1000e chassis with up to 32 independent, individually

serviceable, M420 blade servers, offering a unique combination of performance, density, and

efficiency.

 Compared with half-height blades:

— Double the density

— Half the infrastructure costs (chassis and switches)

— Reduced cabling to top-of-rack (ToR) switches

— All with no enterprise feature trade-offs
