The R650 is a 1U, dual-socket rack server designed to deliver a balance of performance, density, and scalability for various data center workloads. Even with newer generations emerging, the R650 remains a highly capable platform built on solid technology.

Key Performance Features:

• Processing Power: At its heart, the R650 supports dual 3rd Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors, offering up to 40 cores per processor (with Platinum models). This provides significant compute power for demanding applications.
• Memory Capacity: With 32 DDR4 DIMM slots supporting speeds up to 3200 MT/s, the R650 can scale significantly. It supports:
• Up to 2TB using standard RDIMMs/LRDIMMs.
• Up to 8TB using 3DS RDIMMs or LRDIMMs.
• Support for Intel® Persistent Memory (PMem) 200 series, allowing for configurations up to 8TB of PMem or even mixed modes reaching up to 12TB total memory for specific use cases requiring data resilience and large capacity.
• Accelerated Performance: The platform supports up to three single-wide, 75W GPUs (like the NVIDIA T4 or A2) or FPGAs, making it suitable for VDI, AI inference, and other acceleration-dependent tasks without requiring external power connections for these cards.
• PCIe Gen 4: Leveraging the 3rd Gen Xeon Scalable CPUs, the R650 offers PCIe 4.0 slots, doubling the throughput compared to PCIe 3.0. This benefits high-speed networking, NVMe storage, and accelerators.
  

Flexible Storage & Configuration

Dell understands that one size doesn't fit all. The PowerEdge R650 offers impressive storage flexibility within its 1U chassis:

• Front Bays:
  • Up to 10 x 2.5-inch SAS/SATA/NVMe drives.
  • Up to 8 x 2.5-inch SAS/SATA/NVMe drives (often allowing for hybrid configurations using universal slots).
  • Up to 4 x 3.5-inch SAS/SATA drives (Note: NVMe is typically limited to 2.5" configurations).
• Boot Options: The optional Boot Optimized Storage Subsystem (BOSS-S2) provides dedicated, hot-swap capable M.2 SSDs (SATA or NVMe) in a hardware RAID 1 configuration for reliable OS booting, freeing up front bays for data.
• Rear Bays: Certain configurations allow for an optional rear cage supporting up to 2 x 2.5-inch drives.
• RAID Controllers: Dell's PowerEdge RAID Controllers (PERC) are available to manage SAS drives and provide various RAID levels for data protection and performance.

Management and Connectivity

Efficient management is crucial. The R650 integrates Dell's robust management tools:

• iDRAC 9: The Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller provides comprehensive remote management capabilities (agent-free), accessible via a dedicated network port or shared LOM, and through a standard web browser.
• OpenManage Portfolio: This suite offers tools for deployment, monitoring, updating, and managing server infrastructure, with plugins for popular platforms like VMware vCenter, Microsoft Systems Center, and Ansible.
• Quick Sync 2 (Optional): Allows secure, at-the-server management using a mobile device (iOS/Android) via Bluetooth/Wi-Fi through the OpenManage Mobile app.
• Networking Flexibility: Features integrated LOM ports and an OCP 3.0 mezzanine slot for adding various network interface cards (NICs) with different speeds (up to 200Gb/s) and port counts, often hot-swappable.
