Dense 1U compute node

The Dell PowerEdge R650xs packs two Intel Xeon Gold 6330 processors, each with 28 cores at 2.0 GHz and 3.1 GHz turbo, into a single rack unit. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 2933 MHz registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules. The platform targets virtualization, cloud infrastructure and dense analytics workloads that demand high core counts in minimal space. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or larger memory footprints per socket should look elsewhere.

Dual 1400 W platinum supplies

Redundant hot-swap 1400 W platinum power supplies deliver efficient power conversion under load. The 1U chassis uses system-managed airflow to cool both CPUs, memory and eight 2.5 inch drive bays without liquid cooling. Acoustic output scales with inlet temperature and workload intensity; no fan curves or decibel figures are published. Builders requiring lower power draw or passive cooling cannot use this form factor.

PERC H745 with NV cache

The Dell PERC H745 controller adds 4 GB non-volatile cache backed by a battery, enabling RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across eight 1.8 TB 10K SAS drives. A Broadcom 5720 quad-port 1 GbE OCP 3.0 adapter provides four RJ-45 links. iDRAC9 Enterprise gives dedicated remote console, power control and firmware update over IP. Ready rails and a front bezel are included for immediate rack mounting. Administrators who need 10 GbE or 25 GbE connectivity must add a separate mezzanine card.

Questions about this item

How do I install the server in a rack and which step is most often missed?

Mount the included Ready Rails into a 1U rack space, slide the chassis in, and secure the front bezel; the step most often missed is locking the rail latches before pushing the server fully home.

What maintenance will the 1.8TB SAS drives and H745 controller need later?

The 10K SAS drives are hot-swappable, so a failed unit can be replaced without downtime; the H745's 4GB NV cache has a battery that should be checked periodically and replaced when it no longer holds charge.

What limit appears first when the dual Xeon Gold 6330 CPUs run at sustained 3.1GHz turbo?

The 1400W platinum power supplies and 1U airflow set the thermal and power envelope first, so prolonged 3.1GHz turbo on all 28 cores per socket will hit the cooling or power limit before the CPUs throttle themselves.
