Processor specifications
The
PowerEdge
XE7420 sled supports up to two Intel Xeon Scalable processor in each independent sled. Each processor supports up to 26 cores.
Cooling specifications
The PowerEdge XE7100 chassis with two PowerEdge XE7420 nodes/sleds or one PowerEdge XE7440 node/sled has 18 fans. These are divided into three fan zones (Chassis, Node_A, and Node_B), and each zone has six fans.
The chassis fans are single rotor fans, and sled fans are dual rotor fans.
For Half-Width (HW) sled, sled 1 is Node 1 and sled 2 is Node 2.
