4U tall. And space for 60 3.5inch (or 2.5inch) drives inside.

Attaching to the network

Each of the two rear mounted "enclousure management modules" ("EMMs") has a serial interface and an 8P8C modular jack for 100baseT Ethernet connectivity. The factory default IP addresses for these are 192.168.128.101 for EMM 0 (the top one) and 192.168.128.102 for EMM 1 (the bottom one). There is also a serial interface on each of the EMMs with a Mini-DIN 6 pin connector. Dell part numbers for the correct serial cables are CT109 and MN657. I have not used these and hope to not need them.

https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000141824/pulling-logs-on-md3060e-via-serial-for-sds-solutions has some documentation on this.

Gather network config

From a machine with an IP address in the 192.168.128.0/24 range, telnet to 192.168.128.101. There is no password needed. Send a newline (Return or Enter key) and you'll probably be greeted by a menu. If no menu appears, send a ? and a newline to the EMM.

Set EMM up for DHCP
