Chassis purpose and audience

The Dell PowerEdge C6400 is a 2U rack server chassis populated with a single C6420 compute node. It targets organisations building dense compute clusters who want to start with one node and expand later.

Installation notes

The unit ships with 24 front-accessible 2.5-inch drive bays fitted with blanks; no trays or drives are included so you must source compatible caddies. The H330 RAID controller and iDRAC9 Express remote management are pre-installed, reducing initial configuration steps.

Sustained-load behaviour

Dual 1600 W redundant power supplies share the load to maintain uptime during continuous operation. The shared 1 Gb Ethernet LOM port handles systems management traffic alongside host data without a dedicated management NIC.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the iDRAC9 Express remote management is responding after the server is powered on?

Connect to the iDRAC9 Express network port, log in through its web interface, and verify the chassis inventory shows one C6420 node, the H330 controller, and the 1600 W redundant power supplies as healthy.

What ships with the C6400 chassis and what must I supply to make the C6420 node operational?

The chassis includes 24 × 2.5" drive bays with blank fillers, one H330 RAID controller, one 1600 W redundant PSU, and iDRAC9 Express; you must add CPUs, memory modules, drive trays, and storage drives for the C6420 node.

Which drive-bay count matches a workload that needs up to twenty-four 2.5-inch drives in a single 2U rack unit?

The C6400 chassis provides exactly 24 × 2.5" bays in 2U, so choose this configuration when the maximum density for 2.5-inch media is required.
