Product overview
The Dell PowerVault 84-Bay 3.5in SAS expansion Enclosure is supplied under part number ME484. An expansion shelf has to be supported by the head unit's firmware, not merely cabled to it. This chassis takes 84 drives. Tell us the controller and we will confirm the shelf is on its supported list.
Tell us the deadline you are working to and we will say whether it is achievable before you commit to it internally.

What you get ordering this from us
Ordered by part number
The order is placed against ME484, not against a description of it, so there is no room for a substitution you did not agree to.
Supported by the head unit
We confirm the shelf is on the controller’s supported list, not merely that the cable fits.
No substitutions without asking
If we cannot supply the exact code we tell you what we can supply and why, rather than shipping an equivalent and letting you find out.
Questions buyers ask about this part
Is ME484 genuine and is the warranty intact?
Yes, new and sealed, with the Dell warranty and the firmware update path intact. We do not sell refurbished stock as new, and we do not source grey-market units.
Will ME484 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. Purchase orders are accepted from qualified organisations, net terms are available on approval, and tiered pricing applies at quantity. Tell us how many you need.
