Dell PowerEdge XE9680L — Full Technical Specifications

The XE9680L is the liquid-cooled sibling of Dell's eight-accelerator system, built for the newest and hottest accelerator modules and for rooms equipped to take heat out in water rather than in air. It is a data-centre commitment rather than a server purchase. Ordered new, specified with Dell and with whoever runs the facility.

Full Specifications

Start at the cooling note attached to the processor row, because it governs everything else on this sheet: this variant assumes liquid to the processors, the accelerators and the interconnect switches, and a room without that plumbing cannot host it regardless of what the rest of the table says. The accelerator row then lists two module families with different power draws, and the power-supply row changes with the choice — read the two together rather than in order. Storage is deliberately minimal in this class, since the data lives on the fabric, so do not read the short bay row as an omission. The physical row is the last gate: height, depth and weight here exceed what an ordinary cabinet is built for.
