Dense 5U storage server

The Dell XE7100 is a 5U rack system that houses two XE7420 compute nodes. Each node runs a pair of Intel Gold 6132 processors at 2.6GHz with 14 cores and shares 192GB of DDR4 memory across twelve 16GB modules.

Suited to archive and backup workloads

The chassis provides one hundred 3.5-inch bays and ships with fifty 16TB 7.2K SATA drives managed by dual H745 PERC controllers and an H730P RAID controller. Four 960GB SATA SSDs per node handle boot and caching duties. Buyers who need all-flash performance or GPU-accelerated compute should look elsewhere.

Dual 2400W redundant power supplies

Two hot-plug 2400W units supply N+1 redundancy for the fully populated chassis. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Enterprise, and networking includes Broadcom 57414 dual-port 25GbE LOM plus Mellanox ConnectX-4 LX dual-port 10/25GbE adapters. Rails and power cords are included.
