Dense compute platform

The PowerEdge R650 is a 1U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon Gold 5317 processors. Each CPU runs at 3.0 GHz with a 3.6 GHz turbo and provides twelve cores. The system ships with 256 GB of DDR4 2933 MHz registered ECC memory across eight modules. Ten 960 GB SATA SSDs and a PERC H755 controller with 8 GB NV cache complete the core hardware.

Virtualisation hosts and database clusters

This configuration suits teams that need high core counts and large memory in a single rack unit for virtualisation, database workloads or dense private cloud deployments. The quad-port 1 GbE OCP card and iDRAC9 Enterprise simplify network and remote management. Buyers who require 10 GbE or 25 GbE networking, NVMe storage tiers or GPU acceleration should look at a different platform.

Dual 1400 W platinum power supplies

Redundant hot-swap 1400 W platinum units power the server and allow maintenance without downtime. The 1U chassis includes ready rails and a front bezel for immediate rack installation. If your rack power budget or PDU layout cannot support two 1400 W connections, this server will not fit the infrastructure.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the dual Xeon Gold 5317 CPUs and 256GB DDR4 are recognised after first boot?

Open the iDRAC9 Enterprise web interface; the System > Inventory page will list both 12-core 3.0GHz processors and show 256GB of DDR4 2933MHz ECC memory across the populated slots.

Which components are included and which must be sourced separately?

The chassis ships with 2x Xeon Gold 5317 CPUs, 8x 32GB DDR4 RDIMMs, 10x 960GB SATA SSDs, PERC H755 with 8GB NV cache, quad-port 1GbE OCP 3.0 card, iDRAC9 Enterprise, 2x 1400W PSUs, rails and bezel; additional drives, memory or PCIe cards are not included.

Should I choose the 10-bay 2.5" SATA SSD configuration or a different drive layout?

This unit is the 10-bay 2.5" model populated with 960GB SATA SSDs; the backplane also accepts SAS or NVMe drives if your workload needs higher IOPS or capacity, but any change requires purchasing new drives and possibly a different backplane.
