Product overview
This is the Dell PowerVault 12-Bay 3.5in 12Gb SAS storage Enclosure, order code MD1400. An expansion shelf has to be supported by the head unit's firmware, not merely cabled to it. This chassis takes 12 drives. Tell us the controller and we will confirm the shelf is on its supported list.
If the part is wrong for your platform we will say so and suggest the one that is, which is cheaper for both of us than a return.

What you get ordering this from us
Ordered by part number
MD1400 is what is quoted and MD1400 is what ships; where an alternate code is genuinely the same part we name it rather than swap it silently.
Supported by the head unit
We confirm the shelf is on the controller’s supported list, not merely that the cable fits.
Answered by a human
A quote comes back with the reasoning attached, including the cases where we think you should buy something else.
Questions buyers ask about this part
Is MD1400 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 MD1400 work in my server?
Send us the server model or service tag and we will confirm before you order. Part numbers alone do not always settle it: firmware revision and platform generation matter, and this is the check that prevents a return.
Do you accept purchase orders and quote at volume?
Yes. We quote against a purchase order and hold the price for the quote period, with tiered rates at quantity. Net terms are available once the account is approved.
