DELL PowerEdge R650xs 1U Rack Server 2x Xeon 4316 2.3GHz 20C 256GB DDR4 H745 10x 2.5

Dual Xeon Silver 4316 1U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R650xs is a 1U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Silver 4316 processors running at 2.3 GHz with a 3.4 GHz turbo frequency. Each CPU provides 20 cores for a total of 40 cores and 16 threads per socket. The system ships with 256 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules and includes a PERC H745 RAID controller with 4 GB non-volatile cache and battery backup.

Upgrade from single-socket or older 14G platforms

This configuration replaces single-processor servers or earlier 14th generation PowerEdge models when workloads demand higher core counts and larger memory capacity in a 1U form factor. The jump is worth it for virtualization clusters, dense database nodes, or HPC tasks that can utilise 40 cores and up to 1 TB of DDR4 across 16 DIMM slots. The H745 controller adds hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60 support for local SAS or SATA drives.

Verify rack depth, power circuits.

Before ordering, confirm that your rack accommodates the chassis depth and that two 1400 W platinum power supplies match available PDU circuits and voltage. The included OCP 3.0 card provides dual 10 GbE SFP+ ports, so compatible transceivers and cabling must be sourced separately. Ten 2.5-inch drive trays are populated; ensure the chosen SAS or SATA drives meet capacity and endurance requirements for the target RAID level.
