Purpose-Built 1U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R650xs is a 1U rack-mount server system built for data-centre density. Two Intel Xeon Silver 4310 processors provide 12 cores each at a base frequency of 2.1 GHz with 3.3 GHz turbo capability. The chassis holds eight 2.5-inch drive bays populated with 1.8 TB SAS hard drives and dual 1400 W hot-swap power supplies.

Workload Fit

This configuration suits virtualisation hosts, cloud infrastructure nodes and dense analytics clusters that need high core counts in a single rack unit. Buyers who require GPU acceleration for AI training should look elsewhere because the specification lists no GPU support. Organisations needing larger memory footprints beyond the installed 256 GB DDR4 must add modules themselves.

Deciding Specification

The PERC H745 RAID controller with 4 GB NV cache and battery backs eight 1.8 TB SAS drives and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This storage subsystem determines whether the server meets your performance and redundancy requirements.

Questions about this item

Will the R650xs accept my existing DDR4-2666 ECC RDIMMs or do I need 3200 MT/s modules?

The server ships with 256 GB of DDR4-2666 registered ECC memory and supports speeds up to 3200 MT/s, so your current DDR4-2666 modules will work without replacement.

How can I confirm the PERC H745 controller and all eight 1.8 TB SAS drives are healthy after installation?

Use iDRAC9 Enterprise to view controller firmware, battery status and each drive's SMART data; the front-panel LCD also shows a green system-health indicator when everything is optimal.

Which items are included in the box and what must I source separately for a basic deployment?

The shipment contains the 1U chassis, 2 × Xeon Silver 4310 processors, 256 GB DDR4, H745 RAID card, 8 × 1.8 TB SAS drives, Broadcom 57412 dual 10 GbE SFP+ OCP card, iDRAC9 Enterprise, 2 × 1400 W PSUs, bezel and rails; you only need to add SFP+ transceivers or DAC cables and rack-mount power cords.
