Estimated age of Dell Poweredge 2650

rds1220 · Aug 19, 2015

Not sure where exactly to put this. I was hoping though there was someone out there who has been in the server world for awhile that can help me date this hardware. I have gotten an old Dell Power Edge from someone. It is a poweredge 2650 in a rack 2u mount. Any idea on the possible date of this rack? Also any idea of what socket it uses?

Search for "dell poweredge 2650 specifications" on google and you will get all the details. It all depends on the exact model / generation you have.

DDR PC266 RAM? Too old, you do not need to know.
2003? 2004?

I did and I really didn't find anything to useful. All the info I found was very plain like "support for dual 2.4-3.0 Ghz Xeon processors." I couldn't find an actual CPU support list. What I was thinking was if I could find that than I could say, for example, ok it supports these CPU's and it looks like they are netburst Xeon's so that would date it to the early 2000's." I'm guessing it is pretty old though because the CPU is using pins on the actual CPU rather than on the socket like more modern Intel processors.

I think so I would have to check though that sounds very familiar so I think it is right.

I see reviews dated July 01, 2002 and June 19, 2002... So 13 years old now.

Yeah, it should be from around 2001-2004, somewhere in that time era.
I was just using the DDR266 RAM as reference.

Thanks that is what I was thinking and I'll scrap it. I got all excited when I opened it up and saw two Xeons. I thought "it's old but I got really lucky if I got two free Core based or Nehalem based Xeons." They would be old but still useable. So much for that.

Maybe this helps: Information is in Bios: http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/servers/f/1466/t/7783325

Had a brain fart I forgot about looking at the Bios.

i run a old r900 server socket 604 and it works pretty nice sure its old but a old server can still make a great webserver or even a file server. i believe it uses SAS(?) still kills my old dual Pentium server i had before the r900
