About the Dell PowerEdge XE9680
The Dell PowerEdge XE9680 (part number XE9680-BASE) delivers up to 14.4kW of redundant power through six 2400W hot-swap PSUs, eliminating single points of failure and enabling mission-critical continuous operation across your datacenter. This 10U rack-mount system is engineered for infrastructure teams demanding enterprise-grade reliability and GPU-accelerated performance at scale.
Built on 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors (Sapphire Rapids) with dual sockets supporting up to 120 total CPU cores, the Dell platform pairs compute density with exceptional memory capacity—up to 8TB of DDR5 RDIMM at 4800 MT/s across 64 DIMM slots. GPU acceleration reaches up to eight NVIDIA H100 SXM5 80GB accelerators with NVLink 4.0 and NVSwitch delivering 3.6TB/s all-to-all fabric bandwidth and 640GB aggregate HBM3 memory. The system features PCIe Gen 5, up to 12x 2.5" NVMe Gen 5 SSDs plus dual M.2 boot drives, front-end connectivity via 2x OCP 3.0 slots (supporting up to 100GbE or 400GbE), and eight InfiniBand NDR 400Gb/s back-end ports—one per GPU. iDRAC9/iDRAC10 management, NVIDIA Base Command Manager integration, and OpenManage visibility ensure streamlined operations. The system runs Ubuntu 22.04, RHEL 9, Rocky Linux, and VMware ESXi (CPU-only), with standard air cooling and optional rear-door heat exchanger or direct liquid cooling readiness.
Deployment Scenarios
- Large-scale AI model training and inference clusters requiring unified fabric and extreme GPU memory bandwidth
