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.
3.4 inches high x 17.5 inches wide x 24.17 inches deep (8.64 cm x 44.45 cm x 61.39 cm) 44 lb (20 kg)
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.
The Dell EMC Unity 450F has 2 Storage Processors.
Each SP comes with:
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.Each SP has two slots that can support 6 different options.
