Dell PowerEdge R650 (New Old Stock)
What Is the Dell PowerEdge R650?
The R650 is the 1U dual-socket member of Dell’s 15th-generation PowerEdge family, powered by two 3rd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable (Ice Lake) processors with 32 DDR4 DIMMs and PCIe Gen4 in a single rack unit. It is the dense counterpart to the 2U R750.
We hold sealed new old stock R650 units for buyers who want a brand-new, fully warranted 1U Ice Lake server at a lower capital cost — for dense virtualization, web and container farms, all-flash 1U storage, or to extend an existing R650/R750 DDR4 fleet.

R650 Specifications in Detail
Processors: dual 3rd Gen Xeon, up to 80 cores in 1U
The two sockets accept 3rd Generation Ice Lake Intel Xeon Scalable CPUs, from Silver 4300 to Platinum 8380, up to 40 cores per socket — 80 cores in a single rack unit — at up to 270 W.
Memory: 32 DDR4 DIMMs, up to 8 TB
The R650 offers an unusually large 1U memory footprint: 32 DDR4-3200 RDIMM/LRDIMM slots, an 8 TB ceiling and optional Optane PMem 200. DDR4 keeps the platform cost-effective for dense fleets.
Storage: up to 10 front NVMe
The 1U front bay supports 4 × 3.5″ or 10 × 2.5″ SAS/SATA/NVMe, with up to ten NVMe drives. Controllers include PERC 11 H345/H755/H755N and HBA355i, with a BOSS boot option.
PCIe Gen4, power and management
Three PCIe Gen4 slots and OCP networking carry Gen4 NVMe and adapters; redundant PSUs span 800–2400 W. Management uses iDRAC9 and OpenManage Enterprise, with TPM 2.0 and Silicon Root of Trust.
Why sealed new old stock?
NOS R650 units are genuine, factory-sealed and never deployed — brand-new 15th-gen hardware at a lower capital cost. Because remaining manufacturer coverage on older sealed stock varies, every R650 NOS carries a full 3-year warranty backed directly by us (Beijing Xinchuan Technology Co., Ltd.), so cover does not depend on the unit’s build date. Ask us for the service tag and written warranty terms.
R650 vs R750 vs R660: Which Server?
| PowerEdge R650 (15G 1U, NOS) | PowerEdge R750 (15G 2U, NOS) | PowerEdge R660 (16G 1U, new) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Processors | 2 × 3rd Gen Xeon | 2 × 3rd Gen Xeon | 2 × 4th/5th Gen Xeon |
| Cores (max) | 80 total | 80 total | 128 total |
| Memory | 32 × DDR4-3200, 8 TB | 32 × DDR4-3200, 8 TB | 32 × DDR5-4800/5600, 8 TB |
| Front / NVMe | 10 × 2.5″; up to 10 | 24 × 2.5″; up to 24 | 10 × 2.5″/E3.S; up to 10 |
| PCIe / GPU | 3 × Gen4 | 8 × Gen4; 2 × 300W GPU | 3 × Gen5 |
Rule of thumb: want a brand-new 1U Ice Lake server at the lowest cost? Choose the R650 NOS. Need 2U expansion and GPUs in the same generation? Choose the R750. Want current DDR5/Gen5? Choose the R660.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Dell PowerEdge R650 used for?
The R650 is Dell’s 15th-generation 1U dual-socket Intel server, used for dense VMware/Hyper-V virtualization, web and container farms, all-flash 1U storage and high-density data centers on the Ice Lake platform.
What does new old stock (NOS) mean for the R650?
NOS is a genuine Dell R650 that has never been deployed: factory-sealed carton, no prior owner — brand-new 15th-gen hardware at a lower capital cost. Since manufacturer cover on older sealed stock varies, we back every R650 NOS with our own full 3-year warranty.
What CPUs does the R650 use?
Two sockets accept 3rd Generation Ice Lake Intel Xeon Scalable processors, from Silver 4300 to Platinum 8380, up to 40 cores per socket (80 total) and 270 W.
What is the maximum RAM for the R650?
32 DDR4-3200 RDIMM/LRDIMM slots support up to 8 TB, with optional Optane PMem 200.
How many NVMe drives does the R650 support?
The 1U front bay (4 × 3.5″ or 10 × 2.5″) supports up to 10 NVMe drives.
Is the R650 new or New Old Stock?
We supply the R650 as sealed New Old Stock — factory-sealed, never-deployed New Old Stock; we do not supply previously deployed units. Since remaining manufacturer cover on older sealed stock varies, every R650 NOS carries a full 3-year warranty backed directly by us (Beijing Xinchuan Technology Co., Ltd.).
What is the difference between the R650 and R660?
The R650 is 15th-generation on 3rd Gen Xeon Ice Lake with DDR4-3200 and PCIe Gen4 (sealed NOS, lower cost). The R660 is 16th-generation on 4th/5th Gen Xeon with DDR5 and PCIe Gen5 (current new).
