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.
Crashing an EMM over the network

and wait forever. Power cycling may be required to bring it back to life at this point.
