The PowerEdge R450 in the 8 x 2.5″ SFF configuration doubles your drive bay count over the LFF variant, making it the better choice where drive density, SAS performance drives, or a mix of SSDs and HDDs are part of your storage plan. The chassis is otherwise the same proven 1U 15th-generation platform — dual-socket, PCIe Gen 4, and fully managed via iDRAC9 Enterprise.

This listing ships with 16GB of RAM already installed, giving you a running start. You’ll still need to add processors, drives, and an OS, but the essentials are in place.

What’s Included

• 16GB (1x 16GB) RDIMM 3200 MT/s Dual Rank — one DIMM populated; 15 slots remain for expansion up to 1TB total
• PERC H355 RAID Controller — hardware RAID for SAS and SATA drives across all eight bays
• iDRAC9 Enterprise 15G — full out-of-band remote management: remote console, power control, firmware lifecycle management, and telemetry
• Broadcom 5720 Dual Port 1GbE LOM — onboard dual-port Gigabit Ethernet
• Riser Config 0 — 1x OCP 3.0 (x16) + 1x 16 Low Profile — OCP slot present and available for a mezzanine NIC upgrade
• 800W Single Hot-Plug PSU (1+0) — non-redundant configuration; a second PSU bay is available if redundancy is required
• 8 x 2.5″ hot-plug SFF backplane — accepts SAS and SATA HDDs and SSDs

What You’ll Need to Add

• Up to 2x 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors (max 24 cores per socket) — neither socket is populated
• Additional DDR4 RDIMM 3200 MT/s dual-rank memory if more than 16GB is required
• Up to 8x 2.5″ SAS or SATA drives
• Rails and optional LCD or security bezel.
• Your preferred operating system

No CPU included — both sockets are empty. Heatsinks will be required when populating processors.

No drives included — 8 x 2.5″ hot-plug SFF bays, SAS/SATA only. No NVMe backplane support on the R450.

No OS included — compatible with Windows Server, RHEL, VMware ESXi, and other supported platforms.

Single PSU, non-redundant — the 800W unit is in a 1+0 configuration. A second PSU can be added for redundancy.

Single DIMM installed — for best memory performance and channel utilisation, populate DIMMs in matched pairs per Dell’s recommended slot population order.

No NVMe drive support — the 2.5″ SFF backplane on the R450 supports SAS and SATA only.

The PowerEdge R450 is Dell’s 15th-generation 1U two-socket rack server — compact, capable, and built to scale with your requirements. This is a base chassis listing: the server ships ready to receive your choice of processors, memory, and storage, so you’re paying for the platform and not for components you may already have or want to select yourself. What’s included out of the box is more complete than a bare chassis — you’re getting meaningful infrastructure essentials already fitted.

What’s Included

This specific configuration ships with the following factory-fitted components:

• PERC H355 RAID Controller — Dell’s hardware RAID controller handling SAS and SATA drives across the four front hot-plug bays
• iDRAC9 Enterprise 15G — full out-of-band remote management: remote console, power control, firmware lifecycle management, and telemetry, all without needing physical access to the server
• Broadcom 5720 Dual Port 1GbE LOM — onboard dual-port Gigabit Ethernet; no OCP mezzanine card installed
• 1100W Titanium Hot-Plug PSU — single non-redundant (1+0) configuration, 100–240VAC input, 80 Plus Titanium efficiency rating
• Rail kit included — sliding rails for standard rack installation
• 4 x 3.5″ hot-plug LFF backplane — accepts SAS or SATA HDDs and SSDs; no NVMe backplane support on this platform

What You’ll Need to Add

The R450 chassis has two processor sockets, 16 DIMM slots, and four drive bays — none of which are populated in this listing. You’ll source and install:

• Up to 2x 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors (max 24 cores per socket)
• DDR4 RDIMM 3200 MT/s dual-rank memory (up to 16 DIMMs, max 1TB)
• Up to 4x 3.5″ SAS or SATA drives
• Your preferred operating system (Windows Server, RHEL, VMware ESXi, and others are supported)

No CPU, RAM, drives, or OS included — this is a base chassis configuration intended for custom build-out.

Single PSU, non-redundant — the 1100W unit is fitted in a 1+0 configuration. A second PSU can be added for redundancy but is not included.

No OCP NIC installed — a blank filler occupies the OCP 3.0 slot. An OCP 3.0 mezzanine card can be added if additional or faster networking is required.

No NVMe drive support — the 3.5″ LFF backplane supports SAS and SATA only. If NVMe storage is a requirement, the R450 is not the right platform.

No optical drive bay — no internal optical drive or bay is fitted.

Key Highlights

• 1U dual-socket rack server (15th Gen Dell PowerEdge)
• Supports up to 2x 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors (max 24 cores/socket)
• 16 x DDR4 RDIMM slots — 3200 MT/s dual-rank, up to 1TB
• 4 x 3.5″ hot-plug LFF bays — SAS/SATA (HDD or SSD)
• PERC H355 hardware RAID controller included
• iDRAC9 Enterprise 15G included
• Broadcom 5720 dual-port 1GbE onboard LOM
• 1100W 80 Plus Titanium hot-plug PSU (single, non-redundant)
• Rail kit included
• Optional LCD or security bezel.
• No CPU, RAM, drives, or OS — configure to your requirements

The PowerEdge R640 is Dell’s 14th-generation 1U two-socket rack server — the go-to platform for dense data centre deployments where performance per rack unit matters. This unit comes pre-fitted with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8176 processors: each is a 28-core, 56-thread Skylake-SP CPU running at 2.1GHz with a 3.8GHz Turbo Boost ceiling and a 38.5MB L3 cache. Combined, you’re working with 56 physical cores and 112 threads from the factory — a serious foundation for virtualisation hosts, HPC workloads, and large database deployments.

The 10 x 2.5″ SFF hot-swap backplane supports SAS, SATA, and — depending on the backplane variant fitted — NVMe drives, giving you flexibility in how you build out storage. Dual redundant 750W PSUs are installed, providing hot-swap power redundancy out of the box.

Memory and Storage — Your Choice

The R640 has 24 DDR4 memory slots — 12 per processor — supporting a maximum of 3TB of RAM. This unit ships with all 24 slots empty, so you select the capacity, speed, and DIMM type that suits your workload and budget. A RAID controller will be required to make use of the drive bays — compatible options include the PERC H330, H730P, and H740P.

Management

Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 with Lifecycle Controller, providing out-of-band access for remote console, power management, firmware updates, and server provisioning. QuickSync 2 is supported for mobile-based management access. The R640 integrates with Dell OpenManage Enterprise for centralised multi-server management.

No RAM included — 24 x DDR4 DIMM slots (12 per CPU), max 3TB. ECC RDIMMs or LRDIMMs required.

No drives included — 10 x 2.5″ hot-swap SFF bays. SAS/SATA supported; NVMe support depends on the backplane variant fitted — verify before purchasing NVMe drives.

No OS included — compatible with Windows Server, RHEL, VMware ESXi, and other supported platforms.

No bezel included — front bezel must be sourced separately if required.

165W TDP per processor — confirm your rack power budget and cooling capacity before deployment. Two CPUs at full load draw substantial power.
