Product overview
ME412 is a Dell PowerVault 12-Bay 3.5in SAS expansion Enclosure. 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.
No price is published here because the market for this part moves week to week; ask and we will give you a current one rather than a stale one.

What you get ordering this from us
Ordered by part number
The order is placed against ME412, not against a description of it, so there is no room for a substitution you did not agree to.
Carriers counted with the drives
Enclosure, carriers and disks are quoted as one line so the shelf can actually be populated on arrival.
Compatibility checked
We confirm the part is supported on your platform before it ships, rather than leaving the check to you.
Questions buyers ask about this part
Is ME412 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 ME412 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.
