Dell PowerEdge R650 1U rack server 2x Xeon Gold 5317 3.0GHz 12-core 256GB DDR4 10x 600GB SAS H755 2x 1400W PSU

Purpose-built 1U compute node

The Dell PowerEdge R650 is a 1U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon Gold 5317 processors, each running at 3.0 GHz with twelve cores. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory and ten 600 GB 10K SAS drives managed by a PERC H755 RAID controller with 8 GB cache. Dual 1400 W platinum power supplies, iDRAC9 Enterprise and a Broadcom 57412 dual-port 10 GbE SFP+ OCP card complete the package for dense data-centre deployment.

Fit for virtualization and database clusters

This configuration suits teams running virtualization platforms, private-cloud stacks or transactional databases that benefit from twenty-four cores, high memory bandwidth and fast SAS storage with hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, large-capacity NVMe arrays or more than two processor sockets should evaluate alternative chassis designs that provide those expansion options.

Sustained-load thermal and power profile

Redundant hot-swap 1400 W platinum units maintain delivery during continuous multi-threaded workloads while the 1U airflow path keeps both Xeon Gold 5317 CPUs at their 3.6 GHz turbo under load. The H755 controller battery protects cached writes during unexpected power events, and iDRAC9 Enterprise provides uninterrupted remote monitoring of thermals, power draw and drive health throughout extended production runs.
