PowerEdge R650xs 1U dual-socket server

The Dell PowerEdge R650xs 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 frequency and provides 12 cores. The system includes 64 GB of DDR4 2933 MHz registered ECC memory across four modules. Eight 1.8 TB 10K SAS drives connect through a PERC H745 RAID controller with 4 GB NV cache. A Broadcom 57412 dual-port 10 GbE SFP+ OCP 3.0 card handles networking.

Virtualisation hosts and dense compute clusters

This configuration suits organisations running virtualised workloads, container platforms or high-performance analytics in limited rack space. The dual 1400 W platinum power supplies and hot-swap drive bays support continuous operation. Buyers who need GPU acceleration for AI training should look elsewhere because this unit has no GPU installed. Teams requiring larger memory footprints per socket will need additional DIMMs beyond the 64 GB supplied.

PERC H745 RAID controller with 4 GB NV cache

The storage controller determines which RAID levels are available and how write performance behaves under load. This H745 supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with battery-backed cache protection. If your deployment requires a different controller feature set or external enclosure support, the installed card cannot be changed without a hardware swap.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the PERC H745 RAID controller and both 1400W power supplies are operating correctly after installation?

Use iDRAC9 Enterprise to confirm the H745 controller status shows optimal, all eight 1.8TB SAS drives are online in the configured RAID level, and both 1400W platinum power supplies report healthy redundant operation.

Which components are included and what must be purchased separately for this R650xs?

The server ships with two Xeon Gold 5317 processors, 64GB DDR4 across four 16GB modules, H745 controller with 4GB cache, eight 1.8TB 10K SAS drives, dual-port 10GbE SFP+ OCP card, iDRAC9 Enterprise, two 1400W PSUs, rails and bezel. SFP+ transceivers and any additional memory or drives are separate purchases.

Which memory configuration should I choose to expand beyond the installed 64GB DDR4?

Add registered ECC DDR4 2933MHz modules in multiples of four to fill the remaining twelve DIMM slots, matching the existing 4x 16GB layout for best performance up to the 1TB maximum.
