DELL PowerEdge R650xs 1U rack server 2x Xeon Silver 4310 2.1GHz 12-core 64GB DDR4 H745 8x 2.5" 2x 1400W

Dell PowerEdge R650xs 1U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R650xs is a 1U rack server built for modern data centre environments. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4310 processors running at 2.1GHz with 12 cores each. The system includes 64GB of DDR4 2666MHz registered ECC memory across four DIMM slots. A Dell PERC H745 RAID controller with 4GB NV cache and battery supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 1400W platinum power supplies provide redundant hot-swap power.

Ideal for virtualisation and dense compute clusters

This server suits teams running virtualisation, cloud infrastructure or high-performance computing in a compact footprint. The dual 10GbE SFP+ OCP 3.0 network card and iDRAC9 Enterprise simplify remote management and fast connectivity. Buyers who need GPU acceleration for AI or machine learning workloads should look at configurations that support that option. Organisations requiring more than 1TB of memory capacity or more than two processors will need a different platform.

Eight 2.5-inch drive bays with SAS/SATA support

The chassis provides eight front-accessible 2.5-inch trays compatible with SAS and SATA drives. The PERC H745 controller manages these bays with the listed RAID levels. NVMe drives are not supported by this controller. Buyers planning all-flash NVMe arrays should verify controller compatibility before ordering.
