Drive Options (View ME4084 Storage Array CTO)

84 x 3.5” drive bays
The ME484 dense expansion enclosure is supported behind any of the ME base arrays.


Expansion Options (ME412, ME424, ME484)
3 port 12Gb SAS Expansion Module

6 x 12Gb SAS ports per array
These same chassis form factors are used for the supported expansion enclosures; but with I/O modules instead of controller modules. To make this system an expansion Array you simply need to install the 3-port 12Gb IOM SAS Module in the rear of the system. With this new I/O Module installed you can daisy chain up to 3 5U ME484 Systems. This ME484 is supported by ME4012, ME4024, or the ME4084 Storage Array.
