5U Chassis with 100 Drive Bays

The Dell PowerEdge XE7100 is a 5U rack-mount server chassis populated with two XE7420 compute nodes. Each node runs dual Intel Gold 6132 processors at 2.6 GHz with 14 cores and includes 64 GB of DDR4-3200 memory. The chassis supports up to 100 3.5-inch drives and ships with 25 installed 16 TB 7.2K SATA hard drives.

High-density cold storage clusters

This system suits organisations that need massive raw capacity in a single rack footprint for archive, backup or object-store workloads. Buyers who require all-flash performance, GPU acceleration or a smaller form factor should look at alternative platforms.

Dual H745 RAID controllers

Dual PERC H745 controllers manage the 25 installed 16 TB drives and provide hardware RAID across the 100 available bays. This specification determines whether the array can meet your redundancy and throughput requirements.

Questions about this item

How much rack height does the 5U XE7100 chassis need?

The chassis occupies 5U of rack space and supports up to 100 3.5-inch drive bays, so plan for that height and bay capacity when mounting.

What is the correct order for seating the two XE7420 nodes and connecting the dual H745 controllers?

Install each XE7420 node into the chassis first, then attach the dual H745 controllers to the backplane before cabling the 25 installed 16TB SATA drives.

When should the 2400W redundant power supplies or the H730P RAID controller be replaced?

Replace a 2400W PSU if its status LED shows a fault, and replace the H730P controller if it reports persistent RAID degradation or battery failure.
