Key Features

Everything you need in one device

❄️

Direct Liquid Cooling

CPUs, all 8 GPUs, and NVLink switches are directly liquid-cooled — enabling B200 at 1000W TDP in a 4U chassis while reducing data centre cooling energy costs by up to 45%.

🚀

NVIDIA Blackwell Ready

Supports NVIDIA HGX B200 (180 GB HBM3e) — Blackwell's FP8 performance exceeds H100 by 30× for inference and 4× for training, making the XE9680L a platform for next-generation AI scale.

📦

Denser Rack Footprint

4U vs XE9680's 6U means 33% more GPU nodes per rack — at 8 GPUs per node, a standard 42U rack can house nearly 70% more GPUs than with air-cooled XE9680 servers.

🔗

NVLink Full-Mesh

8× B200 GPUs share 1.44 TB of NVLink-addressable HBM3e memory at full mesh bandwidth — enables single-node training of models in the trillion-parameter class.

📡

Dense PCIe Expansion

12× PCIe Gen5 x16 slots (vs 10 on XE9680) support dual-port 400GbE/800GbE InfiniBand adapters, GPUDirect storage NICs, and BlueField-3 DPUs simultaneously.

📊

iDRAC9 Datacenter

Full iDRAC9 Datacenter with GPU telemetry, thermal monitoring for liquid cooling loop, CloudIQ predictive health, and OpenManage Enterprise fleet management.

About the PowerEdge XE9680L

The Dell PowerEdge XE9680L is the liquid-cooled evolution of Dell's flagship AI server platform — delivering NVIDIA Blackwell GPU performance in a denser, more energy-efficient 4U form factor. By bringing direct liquid cooling to CPUs, all eight GPUs, and the NVLink switch fabric, the XE9680L supports the 1000W NVIDIA B200 GPU that exceeds the thermal limits of air-cooled infrastructure.

With 8× NVIDIA B200 (180 GB HBM3e), the XE9680L delivers 1.44 TB of NVLink-addressable GPU memory — enabling training and inference of trillion-parameter scale models on a single node. NVIDIA Blackwell architecture brings a 30× inference performance uplift over H100 for FP8 workloads, and 4× faster training throughput, making the XE9680L the most capable single-node AI platform in the Dell portfolio.

The liquid cooling infrastructure reduces data centre cooling energy costs by up to 45% compared to air-cooled alternatives, while enabling the higher-TDP GPUs required for Blackwell performance. Dell's direct liquid cooling covers CPUs, all eight GPUs, and the NVLink switches — ensuring the thermal headroom needed for sustained peak GPU utilisation. The 4U chassis fits more nodes per rack than the 6U XE9680, increasing total rack-level GPU density by approximately 33%.

Use Cases

Ideal for a wide range of deployments

🧬

Trillion-Parameter Models

1.44 TB NVLink HBM3e (8× B200) provides the memory required for trillion-parameter LLM training on a single node — with 30× FP8 inference uplift over H100.

🏗️

High-Density AI Clusters

4U chassis packs more nodes per rack — enabling ultra-high GPU-density AI factory deployments where space and power are constrained.

Power-Constrained Datacentres

Direct liquid cooling enables full B200 1000W TDP utilisation in data centres without air-cooling headroom — 45% lower cooling energy delivers measurable OpEx savings.

🔬

HPC & Scientific Computing

B200 FP64 performance and large HBM3e capacity support molecular dynamics, climate simulation, and genome sequencing at unprecedented scale per node.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What is the difference between XE9680 and XE9680L?

The XE9680 is 6U air-cooled supporting H100/H200 and non-NVIDIA GPUs. The XE9680L is 4U liquid-cooled, supports NVIDIA B200 (Blackwell) and H200, and provides higher rack density and lower cooling energy costs.

Q. Does the XE9680L support AMD GPUs?

The XE9680L is optimised for NVIDIA HGX B200 and H200. For AMD Instinct MI300X configurations, the air-cooled XE9680 is the recommended platform.
