Purpose-built 1U compute node

This new Dell PowerEdge R650xs is a 1U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon Gold 6338 processors, each running at 2.0 GHz with 32 cores. The system ships with 512 GB of DDR4 3200 MHz registered ECC memory across 16 DIMM slots and a Dell PERC H745 RAID controller with 4 GB NV cache. Eight 1.8 TB 10K SAS drives, a quad-port 1 GbE OCP 3.0 card, iDRAC9 Enterprise, dual 1400 W platinum power supplies, rails and bezel complete the package.

Fit and alternatives

Organisations needing dense, general-purpose compute for virtualisation, cloud infrastructure or data analytics will find the 32-core CPUs, large memory and all-flash-ready SAS bays well matched. Buyers who require GPU acceleration for AI training, NVMe-only storage pools or single-thread frequency above 3.2 GHz should evaluate other platforms.

Deciding specification

The installed 512 GB DDR4 3200 MHz ECC memory is the single figure that determines whether this server can hold your working set; workloads exceeding this capacity will need a different configuration or additional DIMMs.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.5-inch SAS drives fit in the 1U chassis alongside existing 2.5-inch SATA trays?

Yes — the R650xs accepts 2.5-inch SAS and SATA drives in the same front bays, so your current trays slide straight in.

How do I confirm the H745 controller and both Xeon Gold 6338 CPUs are recognised after first boot?

Open the iDRAC9 Enterprise web interface; the System > Inventory page lists both 32-core processors, 512 GB DDR4, and the PERC H745 with 4 GB NV cache.

Are rails and a bezel included, or must I order them separately?

Ready Rails and the front bezel ship in the box; no extra parts are required for rack mounting.
