The Dell PowerEdge XE7740 is a 4U, air-cooled server that takes up to eight double-wide PCIe GPUs on Intel Xeon 6 processors. It is the Intel-based answer for teams that want a full GPU chassis for inference and fine-tuning without moving to SXM modules or liquid cooling.
Buying: IO South stocks and sources the PowerEdge XE7740 new and refurbished, configured to your spec, with a warranty on refurbished units. Selling: we also buy PowerEdge XE7740 systems and the GPUs inside them from businesses upgrading or decommissioning. Request a quote below, or get an offer on the one you have.

Same 4U PCIe GPU chassis idea. The XE7740 is Intel Xeon 6, the XE7745 is AMD EPYC 9005. Pick by the CPU platform your fleet already runs.
Yes. IO South buys XE7740 systems and the GPUs inside them from businesses upgrading or shutting down capacity.
No. It is an air-cooled PCIe GPU platform, which is the main reason to choose it over the XE9685L.
