FAQ
What is the architectural advantage of the midplane-free design in the MX7000?
Without a traditional midplane, compute sleds connect directly to I/O fabric modules, eliminating signal degradation and allowing seamless upgrades to future PCIe Gen5 and Gen6 fabrics.
How many compute nodes can fit in a single PowerEdge MX7000 chassis?
The MX7000 supports up to eight two-socket single-width compute sleds (MX750c, MX760c) or four four-socket double-width sleds (MX840c).
