Create a 12-slide technical buyer's guide to Dell PowerEdge GPU servers for enterprise AI workloads. AUDIENCE: Infrastructure architects and data centre leads who have budget approved for on-prem AI hardware and now have to choose a specific platform. They know rack power, cooling and networking constraints better than they know model training. Assume they will push back on anything vague. TONE: Vendor-neutral technical explainer, not a Dell sales pitch. Accurate specs matter more than enthusiasm. Where a spec varies by configuration, say so rather than stating a single number. SLIDE-BY-SLIDE STRUCTURE: 1. Title - "Choosing a Dell PowerEdge GPU Server for AI Workloads", subtitle naming the three decisions the deck resolves: GPU class, cooling, scale 2. Why the server choice is the constraint - GPU count per node, interconnect topology and cooling envelope decide what model sizes you can train and how many concurrent inference streams you can serve. Frame the whole deck around this. 3. Portfolio map - the PowerEdge GPU line-up organised by density: - XE9680 / XE9680L - 8-GPU flagship for large-scale training - XE9685L - high-density liquid-cooled 8-GPU - XE7745 - high GPU count PCIe platform for inference and fine-tuning - XE8640 / XE9640 - 4-GPU nodes, air and liquid cooled respectively - R760xa / R770 - mainstream 2U rack servers with 2-4 PCIe GPUs Present as a table with: model, form factor, max GPUs, GPU form factor (SXM vs PCIe), cooling, primary workload fit. 4. GPU options - NVIDIA H100, H200, B200 and Blackwell-class SXM modules versus L40S and PCIe cards. Explain when SXM with NVLink is required and when PCIe is sufficient. Include memory per GPU and interconnect bandwidth. 5. Training vs inference vs fine-tuning - a decision matrix mapping each workload to the right platform tier, with the deciding variable named for each row (model parameter count, batch concurrency, latency target). 6. Cooling - air cooled versus direct liquid cooling. Cover rack kW density, when air cooling stops being viable, facility water requirements, and Dell's integrated rack-scale liquid cooling options. 7. Power and rack planning - typical per-node power draw ranges for 4-GPU and 8-GPU nodes, racks-per-cluster maths, PDU and floor loading implications. Include a chart comparing kW per rack across the platform tiers. 8. Networking and storage - east-west fabric for multi-node training (InfiniBand and RoCE), NIC counts per node, and why storage throughput becomes the bottleneck at scale. Mention Dell PowerScale as the storage pairing. 9. Reference architectures - Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA, and what a validated design actually removes from the deployment timeline. 10. TCO - on-prem versus cloud GPU rental. Build the argument on utilisation: show the crossover point where sustained utilisation makes owned hardware cheaper, and name the costs people forget (power, cooling, staff, refresh cycle, idle time). Include a chart with two cost curves crossing. 11. Sizing worksheet - a 6-question checklist a buyer answers before selecting a platform (largest model to train, concurrent inference users, latency SLA, available rack power, cooling type available, growth horizon) 12. Recommendation summary - three buyer profiles (frontier training, enterprise fine-tuning and inference, departmental/pilot) each mapped to a specific platform and GPU choice, with one-line justification REQUIREMENTS: - Two charts minimum: rack power density comparison (slide 7) and the on-prem vs cloud TCO crossover (slide 10). - Two tables minimum: the portfolio map (slide 3) and the workload matrix (slide 5). - Flag any spec you are not confident about rather than stating it flatly. Accuracy is being graded on this deck. - Speaker notes on every slide, 3-4 sentences, written for a presenter who will be interrupted with questions. - Max 6 bullets per slide. No filler slides, no "thank you" slide. - Clean enterprise look: dark navy or graphite base with a single accent colour, high contrast, no gradients behind text.
Presentation overview
This community presentation was shared by Yworq as a complete 12-slide example. Create a 12-slide technical buyer's guide to Dell PowerEdge GPU servers for enterprise AI workloads.

Use it as a reference for planning your own deck: notice how the amount of information changes from slide to slide, where visual emphasis appears, and how repeated design choices help the presentation feel connected. Community examples are inspiration, not locked templates, so you can keep the ideas that fit your audience and replace anything that does not.
Learn from the example
Look at the job each slide performs. Identify where the deck introduces its subject, develops the main points, adds evidence or examples, and moves toward a conclusion.
Notice which element attracts attention first and how headings, supporting text, images, and data are separated. Strong hierarchy makes the intended reading order obvious.
Compare spacing, typography, color, and repeated components across the slides. Consistent rules help varied content feel like one presentation instead of unrelated screens.
Make it your own
Begin with your audience and the decision, lesson, or action the presentation should support. Replace the topic, examples, evidence, and visuals with material you can verify, then edit every slide for one clear takeaway. You can borrow the visual direction without copying the creator's wording or message. Presenton will use this community deck as a design reference while you develop content for your own purpose.
