DELL PowerEdge R650xs 1U Rack Server 2x Xeon Gold 5317 3.0GHz 12 Core 512GB DDR4 H745 2x 1400W

Purpose-built 1U density

The Dell PowerEdge R650xs is a 1U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon Gold 5317 processors, each running at 3.0 GHz with 12 cores and a 3.6 GHz turbo frequency. It ships with 512 GB of DDR4 2933 MHz registered ECC memory across 16 DIMM slots. The platform targets virtualization, cloud infrastructure and dense data-analytics workloads that demand high compute density in a single rack unit.

Sustained-load behaviour

Dual 1400 W platinum power supplies and redundant hot-swap cooling keep both CPUs at turbo frequencies during extended multi-threaded runs. The PERC H745 controller with 4 GB NV cache and battery-backed write-back accelerates sustained RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 workloads across eight 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drive trays. Broadcom 5720 quad-port 1 GbE networking and iDRAC9 Enterprise provide continuous remote monitoring without host overhead.

Pre-order checklist

Verify that your rack supplies 1U of vertical space and supports the included ready rails for tool-less mounting. Confirm that facility power can feed two 1400 W supplies on separate circuits for full redundancy. Ensure your storage plan uses 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives, as the eight front trays do not accept 3.5-inch form factors. Check that DDR4 2933 MHz registered ECC modules match any future memory expansion up to the 1 TB maximum.
