Compact 1U compute density

The Dell PowerEdge R650xs is a 1U rack server that fits two Intel Xeon Gold 6338 processors, 512GB of DDR4 memory and ten 1.8TB SAS drives in a single rack unit. It ships with redundant 1400W power supplies, iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management and a PERC H745 RAID controller.

Buyers needing more internal drive bays

This server suits workloads that demand high core counts and fast local storage within a 1U footprint, such as virtualisation clusters or database nodes. It does not satisfy buyers who need more than ten 2.5-inch bays, who require GPU compute, or who must run workloads that exceed the installed 512GB memory ceiling.

PERC H745 RAID controller with 4GB NV cache

The storage subsystem centres on the Dell PERC H745 controller, which provides 4GB of non-volatile cache backed by a battery and supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across the ten 1.8TB 10K SAS drives. This controller choice determines the achievable redundancy and performance profile for the local array.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm both Xeon Gold 6338 processors are detected and all 512GB of DDR4 memory is active after first boot?

Enter the system BIOS or iDRAC9 Enterprise interface; both will show two CPUs with 32 cores each and 16 DIMM slots populated with 32GB modules running at 3200MHz.

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

The server ships with 2x Xeon Gold 6338 CPUs, 512GB DDR4, H745 RAID controller with 4GB cache, 10x 1.8TB SAS drives, 5720 quad-port 1GbE OCP card, iDRAC9 Enterprise, 2x 1400W PSUs, rails and bezel; no additional parts are required for basic operation.

Should I choose the 10-drive 1.8TB SAS configuration or a different capacity for the R650xs?

This unit is pre-configured with 10x 1.8TB 10K SAS drives providing 18TB raw capacity behind the H745 controller; other drive counts or NVMe options would require a separate chassis configuration.
