DELL PowerEdge R650xs 1U rack server 2x Xeon Gold 5317 3.0GHz 12-core 64GB DDR4 H745 8x 2.5" 2x 1400W PSU

1U rack server for dense compute

The Dell PowerEdge R650xs is a 1U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon Gold 5317 processors running at 3.0 GHz with 12 cores each. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 2933 MHz registered ECC memory across four modules. The platform targets virtualization, cloud infrastructure and high-performance computing workloads that demand high core density in a single rack unit.

Front SAS/SATA bays limit NVMe headroom

The chassis provides eight 2.5-inch trays wired for SATA and SAS drives through the Dell PERC H745 RAID controller with 4 GB NV cache. NVMe devices are not supported on these front bays, so all-flash NVMe arrays cannot be installed without a different backplane. The H745 handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 for the installed SATA or SAS media.

64 GB DDR4 with room to 1 TB

The system arrives with 64 GB of DDR4 memory and can scale to 1 TB across 16 DIMM slots. That headroom suits growing virtualization clusters and in-memory databases. Dual 1400 W platinum power supplies deliver redundancy for the fully populated configuration. Buyers who need more than eight front drives or native NVMe speed must choose a different chassis.
