What configuration is supported for a fully populated MX740c compute sled?

Question

Options

• A1 Fabric B mezz card
• B1 Fabric A mezz card
• C2 Fabric A mezz cards 2 Fabric B mezz cards
• D1 Fabric A mezz card 1 Fabric B mezz card

• A
  5% (1)
• D
  95% (18)

Explanation

Option D is correct because the Dell EMC PowerEdge MX740c compute sled has exactly two mezzanine card slots - one dedicated to Fabric A and one to Fabric B - and a "fully populated" sled means both slots are filled, giving you one of each.

Option A (Fabric B only) and Option B (Fabric A only) are wrong because they describe a partially populated sled with only one of the two slots occupied, leaving the other fabric connection unused. Option C is wrong because the MX740c physically only has two mezz slots total - one per fabric type - so fitting two of each (four cards) is impossible.

Memory tip: Think "A + B = complete alphabet, complete sled." A fully populated MX740c needs both fabric types (A and B), one each - not multiples, not just one.
