- Low Latency: Quick seek times due to the fast rotational speed, reducing wait periods for read/write operations.
- Efficient Power Usage: Balanced power draw suitable for dense server racks without excessive heat generation.
Reliability and Durability
The Dell 400-AUST is built with enterprise‑grade components, ensuring:
- High MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures): Designed to operate continuously for extended periods.
- Robust Shock and Vibration Resistance: Suitable for data centers where environmental stability is critical.
- Consistent Performance Over Time: Maintains speed and reliability even after prolonged use.
Installation and Integration
Installing the Dell 400-AUST in a compatible PowerEdge server involves:
- Powering down the server and disconnecting all cables.
- Removing the existing drive bay cover or opening the chassis as per the server’s manual.
- Inserting the Dell 400-AUST into the 3.5‑inch slot, aligning the connectors properly.
- Securing the drive with screws or a locking mechanism provided by the server.
- Reconnecting power and data cables, then powering on the system.
- Configuring the operating system or storage controller to recognize the new drive.
Because it uses standard SATA III connectors, no additional adapters are required. The drive is ready for immediate use once installed.
Environmental and Compliance Information
- Operating Frequency: 50 Hz, matching typical European power standards.
- Harmonized System Code: 84717050, used for customs classification.
- Input Voltage Range: 184 V to 276 V, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of power supplies.
