8 Expansion cards and expansion card risers NOTE: A system event entry is logged in the iDRAC Lifecycle Controller if an expansion card riser is not supported or missing. It does not prevent your system from turning on. However, if a F1/F2 pause occurs with an error message, see Troubleshooting expansion cards section in the Dell EMC PowerEdge Servers Troubleshooting Guide at www.dell.com/ poweredgemanuals.

10 Rack, rails, and cable management Key factors in selecting the proper rails include, Identifying: ● Type of rack in which the rails will be installed ● Spacing between the front and rear mounting flanges of the rack ● Type and location of any equipment mounted on the rear of the rack such as power distribution units (PDUs), and the overall depth of the rack Reference the DellEMC Enterprise Systems Rail Sizing and Rack Compatibility Matrix for the following information: ● Specific details about rail types
Static rails The static rails, shown in the figure below, support a wider variety of racks than the sliding rails, but do not support serviceability in the rack. The static rails are not compatible with the CMA and SRB.
Strain Relief Bar The optional Strain Relief Bar (SRB) for the system organizes and secures cables exiting the back of the server.
11 Supported Operating Systems The PowerEdge R650xs system supports the following operating systems: ● Canonical® Ubuntu® Server LTS ● Citrix® Hypervisor® ● Microsoft® Windows Server® with Hyper-V ● Red Hat® Enterprise Linux ● SUSE® Linux Enterprise server ● VMware® ESXi® Links to specific OS versions and editions, certification matrices, Hardware Compatibility Lists (HCL) portal, and Hypervisor support are available at Dell EMC Enterprise Operating Systems.
