Key features

Combining performance and flexibility, the SR650 server is a great choice for small and medium businesses up to
the large enterprise. It can provide outstanding uptime to keep business-critical applications and cloud
deployments running safely. Ease of use and comprehensive systems management tools help make deployment
easier. Outstanding reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) and high-efficiency design improve your
business environment and help save operational costs.
Scalability and performance
The SR650 server offers numerous features to boost performance, improve scalability, and reduce costs:
Improves productivity by offering superior system performance with the Intel Xeon Processor Scalable
Family with up to 28-core processors, up to 38.5 MB of last level cache (LLC), up to 2666 MHz memory
speeds, and up to 10.4 GT/s Ultra Path Interconnect (UPI) links.
Support for up to two processors, 56 cores, and 112 threads allows to maximize the concurrent
execution of multithreaded applications.
Intelligent and adaptive system performance with energy efficient Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 Technology
allows CPU cores to run at maximum speeds during peak workloads by temporarily going beyond
processor thermal design power (TDP).
Intel Hyper-Threading Technology boosts performance for multithreaded applications by enabling
simultaneous multithreading within each processor core, up to two threads per core.
Intel Virtualization Technology integrates hardware-level virtualization hooks that allow operating
system vendors to better utilize the hardware for virtualization workloads.
Intel Advanced Vector Extensions 512 (AVX-512) enable acceleration of enterprise-class and high
performance computing (HPC) workloads.
Helps maximize system performance for data intensive applications with up to 2666 MHz memory speeds
and up to 3 TB of memory capacity (with the processors that support 1.5 TB per socket).
Offers flexible and scalable internal storage in a 2U rack form factor with up to 24x 2.5-inch and 2x 3.5-inch
drives for performance-optimized configurations or up to 14x 3.5-inch drives for capacity-optimized
configurations, providing a wide selection of SAS/SATA HDD/SSD and PCIe NVMe SSD types and
capacities.
Provides flexibility to use SAS, SATA, or NVMe PCIe drives in the same drive bays with a unique AnyBay
design.
Provides I/O scalability with the LOM slot, PCIe 3.0 slot for an internal storage controller, and up to six PCI
Express (PCIe) 3.0 I/O expansion slots in a 2U rack form factor.
Reduces I/O latency and increases overall system performance with Intel Integrated I/O Technology that
embeds the PCI Express 3.0 controller into the Intel Xeon Processor Scalable Family.
Availability and serviceability
The SR650 server provides many features to simplify serviceability and increase system uptime:
Offers protection in the event of a non-correctable memory failure with Single Device Data Correction
(SDDC, also known as Chipkill, requires x4-based DIMMs), Adaptive Double Device Data Correction
(ADDDC, also known as Redundant Bit Steering [RBS], requires x4-based DIMMs and Intel Xeon Gold or
Platinum processors), memory mirroring, and memory rank sparing.
Provides easy access to upgrades and serviceable parts (such as processors, memory DIMMs, and adapter
cards) with tool-less cover removal.
Offers data protection and greater system uptime with hot-swap drives supporting basic or advanced RAID
redundancy.
Provides availability for business-critical applications with redundant hot-swap power supplies and
redundant hot-swap fans.
Simplifies servicing, speeds up problem resolution, and helps improve system availability with light path
diagnostics.
