DELL PowerEdge R650xs 1U rack server 2x Xeon Gold 6338 2.0GHz 32C 256GB DDR4 H745 10x 1.8TB SAS

1U Dual-Socket Xeon Server

The Dell PowerEdge R650xs is a 1U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 6338 processors, each running at 2.0GHz with 32 cores. It includes 256GB of DDR4 memory and ten 1.8TB SAS hard drives managed by a PERC H745 controller. This configuration targets virtualization, database, and high-density compute workloads in space-constrained data centres.

Compatibility Checks

Verify that the rack provides 1U of vertical space and supports rails for a 1U chassis. Confirm the facility can supply power to two 1400W platinum hot-swap power supplies and that networking infrastructure accommodates the dual-port 10GbE SFP+ OCP 3.0 adapter. Ensure the operating environment meets thermal requirements for a fully populated 10-drive SAS array and dual-processor load.

Sustained Load Behaviour

Under continuous demand, the dual 32-core processors maintain a 2.0GHz base frequency with a 3.2GHz turbo ceiling across 16 total cores per socket. The PERC H745 controller with 4GB NV cache and battery backing sustains RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60 throughput without write-hole risk. Redundant 1400W power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise monitoring keep the platform available during extended production runs.
