High-density 5U rack server with 25 drive bays

The Dell XE7100 chassis fits 100 3.5-inch bays in a 5U form factor and ships with 25 16TB 7.2K SATA drives installed. Two XE7420 compute nodes each run a Gold 6132 14-core processor at 2.6GHz with 96GB DDR4-3200 memory. Dual H745 RAID controllers and an H730P storage controller manage the array, while iDRAC9 Enterprise provides remote management. Redundant 2400W power supplies keep both nodes running.

Archive workloads and cold-storage tiers

This system suits teams building large-capacity object stores, backup targets or media archives that prioritise raw terabytes over latency. The 7.2K SATA media and 100-bay ceiling give headroom to grow without adding racks. Buyers who need PCIe accelerator slots or processor frequencies above 2.6GHz should evaluate alternatives. The fixed node count also limits horizontal scaling within a single chassis.

25 installed 16TB 7.2K SATA drives

The shipping configuration delivers 400TB of formatted capacity across 25 enterprise SATA disks managed by dual H745 controllers. Each node adds four 960GB SATA SSDs for metadata or boot duties. If the project demands a different drive count, spindle speed or flash tier, the chassis supports up to 100 bays for later expansion.

Questions about this item

What rack space and power circuits must I already have for this 5U server with dual 2400W PSUs?

The XE7100 occupies 5U in a standard 19-inch rack and needs two 2400W redundant power supplies, so plan for two separate PDU circuits rated for the load.

Can the Broadcom 57414 25GbE LOM and Mellanox ConnectX-4 10/25GbE adapter share a switch with older 10GbE SFP+ gear?

Both adapters use SFP28 cages that accept 10GbE SFP+ modules, so they will link at 10GbE with existing switches while keeping 25GbE headroom.

How do I confirm the dual H745 controllers and H730P RAID controller are managing all 25x 16TB drives and 4x 960GB SSDs correctly?

Check iDRAC9 Enterprise for controller health, virtual-disk state and drive counts; the storage view should show 25x 16TB HDDs plus 4x 960GB SSDs in optimal status.
