Generic naming convention for Dell EMC PowerEdge servers

To cover a range of server models, the PowerEdge servers are now being referred to using the generic naming convention and

not their generation.

This topic explains how to identify the generation of a PowerEdge server that are referred to using the generic naming

convention.

Example:

The R740 server model is a rack, two processor system from the 14th generation of servers with Intel processors. In the

documentation, to refer to R740, generic naming convention YX4X server is used, where:

● The letter Y (alphabet) is used to denote the following server form factors:

○ C = Cloud - Modular server nodes for hyper-scale environments

○ F = Flexible - Hybrid rack-based sleds for rack-based FX2/FX2s enclosure

○ M or MX* = Modular - Blade servers for the modular enclosure MX7000, M1000e and/or VRTX

○ R = Rack-mountable servers

○ T = Tower Servers

● The letter X (digit) denotes the class (number of processors) of the server.

● The digit 4 denotes the generation of the server.
