Dell EMC Unity 450F All Flash

Dell EMC Unity 450F All Flash

The all-flash Models support only 1 Drive Carrier type, the 25x2.5”. Each Dell Unity 450F has 2 Storage Processors (SP’s) in the rear with 2 CNA ports and 2 Module slots that can hold up to 6 different modules.

Please Note: The Dell EMC Unity hybrid models are the only ones to support FAST and FAST VP technology which helps with tiered storage and accessibility to high-frequency data.

Storage Processor (SP):
The Dell EMC Unity 450F has 2 Storage Processors.
Each SP comes with:

• Intel Xeon E5-2630 10-Core 2.2 GHz processor.
• 4 16GB DDR4 DIMM for a total of 64GB of memory
• 2 embedded CNA ports (4 configurations possible)
• 2 10GbaseT ports
• 2 mini-HD SAS ports
• 2 PCI 3.0, x8 lane I/O module slots (6 Modules supported)

CNA Ports:
Each SP contains two integrated CNA ports (labeled 4 and 5). These ports are PCI Express 3.0 x4 adapters that provide interfaces that can be configured as Ethernet, or Fibre Channel, but once set to a protocol, cannot be changed. If CNA ports are set to Ethernet, you can use 1Gb/s, 10Gb/s SFPs, Twin-AX for File (IP), or iSCSI Block access. If the ports are set to Fibre Channel, then you can use SFPs supporting 4, 8, 16 Gb/s FC multi-mode, or single-mode SFPs supporting 16Gb/s only.
Note: The four CNA ports cannot be configured independently; they must all be configured with the same network protocol.

I/O Modules:
Each SP has two slots that can support 6 different options.

• Four-port 12-Gb/s SAS I/O module
• Four-port 16-Gb/s Fibre Channel I/O module
• Four-port 10-Gb/s optical I/O module
• Four-port 10GBASE-T I/O module
• Four-port 1GBASE-T I/O module
• Two-port 10Gb/s optical I/O module

Note: When adding new I/O modules, always install I/O modules in pairs—one module in SP A and one module in SP B. Both SPs must have the same type of I/O modules in the same slots. Please read the manual below for more details to each module listed above.

Standby Power Supply

25 DPE

• AC 100 to 240 VAC ± 10%, single phase, 47 to 63 Hz
• DC Line Voltage -39 to -72 V DC (Nominal -48V or -60V power systems)

Disk Array Enclosure (DAE)
The Dell EMC Unity 450F supports all two types of DAE’s. When calculating the number of drives make sure to count the DPE drives as well in the total.

• 2U 25-drive DAE with 2.5” drives
• 3U 80-drive DAE with 2.5” drives
