Dell PowerEdge 1650

Processor Technology

The PowerEdge 1650 will support dual Intel Pentium III Processors in the Flip Chip-Pin Grid Array (FC-PGA) module. The PowerEdge 1650 ships with these processor speeds:

• 1.13GHz/512KB
• 1.26GHz/512KB
• 1.4GHz/512KB

• 133MHz processor bus speed.
• Dual Independence Bus (DIB) architecture: separate dedicated external System Bus and dedicated internal high-speed cache bus.
• 512KB Advanced Transfer L2 Cache with ECC on-chip.
• Quadword Wide (256bit) cache data bus provides extremely high throughput on read/store operations.
• Integrated high performance 16KB data and 16KB instruction non-blocking level-one cache
• Flip Chip Pin Grid Array (FC-PGA2) packaging technology.
• Dynamic execution micro architecture
• Power management capabilities: system management mode, multiple low power states

Processor Termination

Unlike with previous Dell PowerEdge models (such as the PowerEdge 1550), there is no need to populate an empty FC-PGA2 socket with a terminator module on the PowerEdge 1650. The terminator circuitry is already implemented on the system board.

VRMs

Unlike the PowerEdge 1500SC, 2500, and 2550 systems, the PowerEdge 1650's VRMs are soldered onto the system board. This means that they cannot simply be replaced if faulty.
