DELL PowerEdge R650 rack server 2x Xeon Gold 5317 3.0GHz 12C 768GB DDR4 H755 10x 960GB SSD

Dual Xeon Gold 5317 compute density

The Dell PowerEdge R650 packs two Intel Xeon Gold 5317 processors running at 3.0 GHz with a 3.6 GHz turbo frequency into a 1U rack chassis. Each CPU provides 12 cores for a total of 24 threads, giving virtualization hosts and database clusters strong single-thread speed alongside multi-thread throughput. The system ships with 768 GB of DDR4 2933 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 DIMM slots.

Ten-bay SATA storage with PERC H755 RAID

Ten front-accessible 2.5-inch bays hold 960 GB SATA solid-state drives managed by a Dell PERC H755 controller equipped with 8 GB of non-volatile cache and a battery backup unit. The controller supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, letting administrators tune redundancy and capacity without adding external enclosures. A Broadcom 5720 quad-port 1 GbE OCP 3.0 network card and iDRAC 9 Enterprise remote management complete the I/O foundation.

Redundant platinum power for sustained workloads

Dual 1400 watt platinum-efficiency power supplies operate in hot-swap redundancy, maintaining delivery during extended compute runs or drive rebuilds. The 1U form factor concentrates heat, so the platform relies on Dell 15th generation thermal engineering to keep both Xeon Gold 5317 processors and the H755 controller within spec under continuous load. Buyers needing NVMe acceleration or GPU expansion should evaluate larger chassis options.
