AI and HPC compute platform

The Dell PowerEdge XE8640 is a 4U rack server pre-configured with four NVIDIA HGX H100 80GB SXM5 GPUs. It targets organisations running large-scale AI training, high-performance computing and analytics workloads. The system ships without CPUs or memory installed, allowing custom processor and memory selection.

Verify processor, memory and power infrastructure

Two 4th Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors and DDR5 RDIMMs must be sourced separately to populate the 32 memory slots. The Intel C741 chipset governs platform connectivity. Each GPU draws 700 W, so facility power delivery and cooling capacity must be confirmed before deployment.

Integrates into dense GPU clusters

The chassis provides front-access storage bays supporting up to eight 2.5-inch NVMe SSDs with a combined capacity of 122.88 TB. Rear I/O includes USB 2.0, USB 3.0, VGA and a dedicated RJ45 iDRAC9 management port. Cryptographically signed firmware, Secure Boot and Silicon Root of Trust secure the hardware supply chain.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and what must I buy separately?

The chassis includes four NVIDIA HGX H100 80GB 700W SXM5 GPUs installed. You must supply two Intel Xeon Scalable processors, up to 32 DDR5 RDIMMs, and up to eight 2.5-inch NVMe SSDs.

Which memory and storage configuration should I select for this 4U server?

Choose up to 32 DDR5 RDIMMs to reach the 4 TB maximum. For storage, populate up to eight 2.5-inch NVMe bays with a total capacity of 122.88 TB.

What does the 700 W per GPU rating mean once the system is running?

Each of the four H100 GPUs draws up to 700 W, so the platform must deliver 2.8 kW of GPU power plus CPU and memory overhead for AI, HPC and analytics workloads.
