DELL PowerEdge R650xs 1U 10-Bay 2x Xeon Silver 4310 2.1GHz 12-Core 256GB DDR4 H745 5720 iDRAC9 Ent 2x 1400W

Dense 1U compute for virtualization

The PowerEdge R650xs packs two Intel Xeon Silver 4310 12-core processors at 2.1 GHz with 3.3 GHz turbo into a single rack unit. Eight 32 GB DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC modules provide 256 GB of memory across 16 DIMM slots. Ten front-access 2.5-inch trays accept SAS or SATA drives behind a PERC H745 controller with 4 GB NV cache supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. A Broadcom 5720 quad-port 1 GbE OCP 3.0 adapter and iDRAC9 Enterprise complete the baseline connectivity and remote-management stack.

Dual 1400 W platinum supplies share load

Redundant hot-swap power supplies operate at platinum efficiency, converting AC with minimal waste heat under typical workloads. The 1U chassis directs airflow front-to-rear across the processors, memory and drive cage, keeping component temperatures within specification without aggressive fan curves. Acoustic output remains consistent with other dense 1U platforms in a cooled rack aisle, and the power budget leaves headroom for the configured CPU and memory population.

Rails, bezel and iDRAC9 Enterprise speed deployment

Slide-in ready rails and a snap-on front bezel are included, reducing rack-mount time to minutes. The PERC H745 battery-backed cache preserves write data during unexpected power loss, improving array consistency. iDRAC9 Enterprise provides a dedicated management network, virtual console, automated firmware updates and telemetry streaming without additional licensing. Builders who need NVMe-optimised backplanes or GPU-accelerated inferencing should evaluate alternative configurations.
