Dell EMC PowerEdge R450 1U (8x 2.5″ Bays, 16GB RAM) Server

Description

A Denser Build for More Drive Flexibility

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.
