Specifications of Precision 3650 Tower

Dimensions and weight

The following table lists the height, width, depth, and weight of your Precision 3650 Tower.

Processors

The following table lists the details of the processors supported by your Precision 3650 Tower
NOTE: Global Standard Products (GSP) are a subset of Dell’s relationship products that are managed for availability and synchronized transitions on a worldwide basis. They ensure the same platform is available for purchase globally. This allows customers to reduce the number of configurations managed on a worldwide basis, thereby reducing their costs. They also enable companies to implement global IT standards by locking in specific product configurations worldwide.

• Device Guard (DG) and Credential Guard (CG) are the new security features that are only available on Windows 10 Enterprise today.
• Device Guard is a combination of enterprise-related hardware and software security features that, when configured together, will lock a device down so that it can only run trusted applications. If it is not a trusted application, it cannot run.
• Credential Guard uses virtualization-based security to isolate secrets (credentials) so that only privileged system software can access them. Unauthorized access to these secrets can lead to credential theft attacks. Credential Guard prevents these attacks by protecting NTLM password hashes and Kerberos Ticket Granting Tickets.
  NOTE: Processor numbers are not a measure of performance. Processor availability is subject to change and may vary by region/country.
• When upgrading from a 65 W processor to a 80/125 W processor, a VR Heatsink specific to the wattage of the processor is required to be installed.
• VR Heatsink part numbers:
  • 80 W VR heatsink (DPN : 47P6W)
  • 125 W VR heatsink (DPN : 7NPYV)
    NOTE: VR Heatsink is not included with the 65 W processor kit and needs to be ordered separately.
