DELL PowerEdge R650xs 1U 10×2.5″ 2×Xeon Gold 5317 3.0GHz 12C 64GB DDR4 H745 10×1.8TB 57412 iDRAC9 Ent 2×1400W

Compact 1U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R650xs is a 1U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 5317 processors running at 3.0 GHz base and 3.6 GHz turbo, each providing 12 cores. It includes 64 GB of DDR4 2933 MHz registered ECC memory across four 16 GB modules and a PERC H745 RAID controller with 4 GB NV cache and battery backup. Ten 1.8 TB 10K SAS hard drives populate the front bays, and dual 1400 W platinum power supplies provide redundancy.

Suited for virtualisation clusters

This configuration suits organisations building virtualisation hosts, cloud infrastructure nodes or high-performance computing clusters that need maximum core density in a single rack unit. The dual-processor design and 1 TB maximum memory capacity support heavy multi-threaded applications. Buyers who need GPU acceleration for AI training or who require all-flash NVMe storage arrays should look at alternative platforms, as this unit ships with 10K SAS drives and no GPU provision.

Verify rack depth, power feeds

Confirm that your rack can accommodate the server depth and that the ready rails match your cabinet hole pattern. Ensure two suitable PDU circuits are available for the redundant 1400 W supplies. The included Broadcom 57412 dual-port 10 GbE SFP+ OCP 3.0 card requires compatible SFP+ transceivers and cabling for network connectivity. Check that the PERC H745 RAID configuration matches your planned storage topology.
