Dell PowerVault ME484 Expansion
A seller of refurbished equipment is telling me the PowerVault ME484 they have on sale is an expansion unit, not a JBOD. I thought every ME484 is a JBOD and can be connected as a DAS using a HBA. Is the seller right? Are there two kinds?

Hello, thanks for choosing Dell and welcome to our community.
I'm wondering if the reseller may have a wrong idea.

Thanks for the quick reply. The documents you suggested are not 100% clear. The second one states "When an ME484 enclosure is accessed from a host server using I/O Modules (IOMs), it is called an ME484 JBOD storage enclosure." Do all ME484's have thgese IOMs? Or is there a specific JBOD variety that has these?

I.e., when hooking the IOMs up to a Dell HBA355e it is a JBOD, but when hooking the same IOMs up to an ME4084, it becomes a EBOD/RBOD?
