What you get ordering this from us
Ordered by part number
M485D is what is quoted and M485D is what ships; where an alternate code is genuinely the same part we name it rather than swap it silently.
Answered by a human
A quote comes back with the reasoning attached, including the cases where we think you should buy something else.
Airflow variant confirmed
We check the airflow direction against your aisle before shipping, because the wrong variant runs hot for the life of the switch.
Questions buyers ask about this part
Is M485D genuine and is the warranty intact?
Yes. It ships new in Dell packaging, which is what keeps the warranty and the firmware entitlement valid. Anything we cannot supply that way we tell you about before you order.
Will M485D work in my server?
Tell us what it is aggregating and what optics you already hold. We confirm the port mix, the uplink capacity and the airflow variant, and we will list the optics and rail kit you will also need.
Do you accept purchase orders and quote at volume?
Yes, POs from qualified organisations, net terms on approval, and banded pricing once the quantity is worth banding. Send the number and we will price it properly.

Specifying a system, not just the part?
Multi-node training is bounded by the fabric between the nodes, so the switch is specified with the cluster rather than after it.
