Compact 1U Rack Server for Dense Compute

The Dell PowerEdge R650xs is a 1U rack server built for data-centre workloads that demand high processor density in minimal space. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 5317 processors, each running at 3.0 GHz with 12 cores and a 3.6 GHz turbo frequency. A total of 128 GB DDR4-2933 registered ECC memory is installed across eight 16 GB modules. The PERC H745 controller with 4 GB NV cache and battery backs RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60.

Suits virtualization and HPC clusters.

This configuration targets virtualization hosts, cloud infrastructure nodes and high-performance computing clusters that rely on CPU throughput and fast memory. The single 1U chassis leaves no room for full-length GPU accelerators, so buyers who need on-board GPU compute for training or inference should look elsewhere. The eight 2.5-inch drive bays accept SAS or SATA media; workloads that require front-access NVMe U.2 or U.3 drives need a different chassis layout. Network connectivity is limited to the quad-port 1 GbE OCP 3.0 card included.

Dual 1400 W platinum PSUs define power redundancy

Two hot-swap 1400 watt platinum-efficiency power supplies provide full N+1 redundancy for the dual-processor, 128 GB memory and eight-drive configuration. This power budget is the single specification that determines whether the server can sustain peak turbo frequencies under load without throttling. Buyers must verify that their rack PDU and circuit capacity can deliver the required current for both units simultaneously. The LGA 4189 socket and DDR4 memory type are fixed by the platform and cannot be changed later.

Questions about this item

How much heat and power do the dual 1400W platinum supplies and dual Xeon Gold 5317 CPUs generate under continuous load?

Two 1400W platinum power supplies and two Xeon Gold 5317 processors at 3.0GHz base with 3.6GHz turbo deliver high compute density in a 1U form factor; actual heat output scales with workload.

Which DDR4 modules and drive trays are required to populate the empty memory slots and the eight 2.5-inch bays?

The system ships with 128GB across eight 16GB DDR4 2933MHz registered ECC DIMMs and includes eight 2.5-inch SAS/SATA trays; additional DDR4 RDIMMs and compatible drives fill remaining capacity.

Can the PERC H745 controller and Broadcom 5720 quad-port 1GbE OCP 3.0 card operate alongside legacy PCIe 3.0 expansion cards?

The H745 front RAID controller supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 with 4GB NV cache, and the 5720 OCP 3.0 network card provides four 1GbE ports; both use standard PCIe interfaces compatible with existing expansion cards.
