generally consists of a letter followed by three or four numbers (ex: PowerEdge R730, PowerEdge R6515, or PowerEdge MX740c). The initial letter indicates the type (form factor) of the server: C = C Series; Modular and compute optimized server nodes and servers for hyper-scale environmentsF = Flexible - Hybrid rack-based sleds for rack-based FX2/FX2s enclosureHS = Optimized solutions tailored for cloud service providersM or MX* = Modular - Blade servers and other items for the modular enclosure MX7000, M1000e and/or VRTXR = Rack-mountable serversT = Tower ServersXE = Purpose-built for complex, emerging workloads that require high performance and large storage.XR = Industrial-grade servers for extreme environments. Three number naming convention The first number after the letter indicates the class of the system. With 1-3 being single CPU systems, 4 - 7 are dual CPU systems, 8 can be two or four CPUs and 9 is four CPUs.The second number indicates the generation, with 0 for 10th generation, 1 for 11th generation and so on.The third number indicates the make of the CPU, 0 for Intel and 5 for AMD. Example, the R740 model is a Rack 2 CPU system from the 14th generation of servers with Intel Processors. Four number naming convention The first number after the letter indicates the class of the system. With 1-5 defaulting to iDRAC Basic and 6 - 9 defaulting to iDRAC Express.The second number indicates the generation, with 0 for 10th generation, 1 for 11th generation and so on.The third number often indicates the number of CPU sockets, 1 for single CPU and 2 for dual CPUs.The fourth number indicates the make of the CPU, 0 for Intel and 5 for AMD. Example, the R6415 model is a Rack 1 CPU socket system from the 14th generation of servers with AMD processors. * For MX7000 modular enclosure: compute sleds, storage sled and IO modules are identified with an additional letter appended to the end of the model name. MX750c, MX740c and MX840c have an appended c for ComputeMX5016s has an appended s for StorageMX9116n has an appended n for IO Module PowerEdge Enclosures or Chassis Naming for blade, modular, node enclosures and chassis PowerEdge MX7000 The PowerEdge MX7000 was introduced during the 14th Generation range. The MX7000 enclosure has eight front-accessible slots for 2-socket single-width or 4-socket double-width compute sleds and single-width storage sled combinations. The supported server module sleds are designated as MXxxxc. The supported storage module sleds are designated as MXxxxxs. For MX7000 modular: Compute sleds, storage sled and IO modules are identified with an additional letter appended to the end of the model name. MX760c, MX750c, MX740c and MX840c have an appended c for Compute sledMX5016s has an appended s for Storage sledMX9116n has an appended n for IO ModuleMXG610s has an appended s for IO Module PowerEdge M1000E The PowerEdge M1000e was introduced with the 10th generation. The M1000e enclosure includes up to 16 half-height server modules, eight full-height server modules, eight sleeves with quarter-height server modules, or a combination of the three server module types. The supported server module types are designated as Mxxx. PowerEdge VRTX The PowerEdge VRTX was introduced with the 12th generation. The VRTX enclosure includes up to four half-height server modules, two full-height server modules, or a combination of the server module types. The supported server module types are designated as Mxxx (for PE VRTX). PowerEdge FX2/FX2s The PowerEdge FX2/FX2s was introduced with the 13th generation. The FX2 enclosure supports up to four half-width compute sleds, up to eight quarter-width compute sleds, up to two full-width compute sleds, or a combination of compute sled types. The PowerEdge FX2s enclosure also supports half-width storage sleds mapped to the compute sleds. The supported compute sleds are designated as FCxxx and FMxxx. The supported storage sleds are designated as FDxxx. Legacy PowerEdge server naming scheme prior to the 10th generation Before the 10th generation of PowerEdge servers, the naming convention used four digits (ex: PowerEdge 2950) where the digits represent: First digit - Class of serverSecond digit - Generation of server (up to ninth generation)Third digit - Server type (5 for rack server, 0 for tower server)Fourth digit - Indicated whether blade or stand alone server (5 for blade, 0 for stand alone server) The 2950 model is a 2U system from the ninth generation of servers in rack format in a stand alone server.
