Dell PowerEdge R650 1U 8x 2.5in SFF 3rd Gen Xeon Scalable Server (Refurbished)

The Dell PowerEdge R650 is the 1U, two-socket server from Dell's 15th generation. It suits buyers who want more cores, more memory channels and PCIe Gen4 than an R640 gives, while staying on DDR4 memory. Typical uses are dense virtualization, database and analytics nodes, and scale-out clusters.

It supports one or two 3rd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors with up to 40 cores each. There are 32 DDR4 DIMM slots, eight memory channels per processor, running at up to 3200 MT/s. Dell lists a maximum of 2TB with RDIMMs or 8TB with LRDIMMs, and up to 16 slots can hold Intel Persistent Memory 200 series modules. This listing is the 8 x 2.5-inch chassis, whose bays take SAS, SATA or NVMe drives; 10 x 2.5-inch and 4 x 3.5-inch versions also exist. Controllers are the PERC H345, H355, H745, H755 and H755N, the HBA355i, and S150 software RAID. A BOSS-S2 card adds two M.2 boot SSDs.

The R650 has two 1GbE LAN-on-motherboard ports and one OCP 3.0 slot for a faster network card. It offers up to three low-profile PCIe Gen4 slots or two full-height slots. Dell lists 800W, 1100W and 1400W AC power supplies and an 1100W DC unit. iDRAC9 provides remote management.

ICT Devices quotes the R650 as you specify it. Have these details ready.

• Processor model and count, since memory capacity depends on both
• Whether the eight bays should be SAS/SATA, NVMe or a mix
• OCP 3.0 network card speed and port type
• Riser choice: three low-profile slots or two full-height slots
• iDRAC9 license level, rails and bezel
