The Dell PowerEdge XE9685L server is a 4U liquid-cooled rack system with dual 5th Generation AMD EPYC 9005 Series processors supporting up to 192 cores per processor. The system includes 24x DDR5 DIMM slots with a maximum capacity of 3TB. It can accommodate up to 8x NVIDIA HGX B200 GPUs fully interconnected with NVIDIA NVLink and NVLink Switch technology. The 4U chassis is divided into an upper 2U section and a lower 2U section with CPU cooling on the top layer and GPU cooling on the bottom layer. Ideally, this server is good for organizations tackling AI, HPC, and deep learning workloads.

Additional Information
Under the hood, the Dell XE9685L uses dual 5th Generation AMD EPYC 9005 Series processors with up to 192 cores each. Memory consists of a total of 24x DDR5 RDIMM slots supporting speeds up to 6400 MT/s. Storage options include up to 8x 2.5-inch U.2 NVMe drive bays on the front panel. To accelerate data processing, the NVMe drives are optimized for NVIDIA GPUDirect Storage. In addition, the internal boot storage uses Dell’s Boot Optimized Storage Subsystem (BOSS) with 2x M.2 SSDs in a hardware RAID 1.
There are up to 12x full-height half-length Gen5 x16 PCIe slots for expansion on the PowerEdge XE9685L. 8x NVIDIA HGX B200 SXM6 GPUs provide massive computational power for AI and HPC tasks. With an SXM6 form factor, each GPU has 180GB of memory and operates at 1000W in the. These GPUs are fully interconnected with NVIDIA NVLink technology.
Network options include 1x OCP 3.0 slot with x8 PCIe lanes and 2x embedded 1 GbE ports. To cool the components, the server spreads 6x high-performance gold-grade fans across the top layer and 6x on the bottom layer. Power is provided by 6x 3000 W Titanium hot-swap redundant units. To manage the system, iDRAC9 includes; iDRAC Direct, iDRAC RESTful API with Redfish and iDRAC Service Module, plus OpenManage Enterprise, OME APEX AIOps Observability, and related OpenManage plugin tools and integrations.
