Default Anything in the front right corner of a Storageworks 4300 series enclosure?

For those of you that remember, I won an auction on Ebay for a storageworks
enclosure only to find that it arrived damaged. The damage seems to be only
in the front right corner of the chassis which I think has no electronics
nearby, but wanted to get your inputs. I won't be able to use any slots
near the right side of the chassis due to the damage, but wanted to get your
inputs on whether I should even try to use it.. I've had a refund issued the
other day care of the seller (less the shipping $$ which I may get back later
as UPS still munches on the damage report).. Ideally, I could just salvage the
guts as they're probably fine (power supply, SCSI interface, etc) but was
curious about the box in general.. Any ideas on whether I should even try to
use it or just ditch it would be appreciated..

Are you offering one? I paid $51 for this now goofed up one and it came with
everything but rails -- it even came with a bunch of drives (luckily I'm
hoping they still work as they were shipped in a separate package that
arrived intact). I might be willing to fork over ~$40 particularly if
you've got rails for it. If it helps, I believe my model was the 4314
but would have to double-check if it really matters (I suspect it doesn't)
for the existing power supply/cards. If $40 isn't good enough, let me know
what you want for one..

Thx!

That or Less, I have a variety of those units, branded HP and Compaq. As
long as you have the modules, the 4214 and 4314 will work, everything is
interchangeable. The 4200 series is a cream color like the older G1 servers
and the 4314 is a dark grey matching the later series of Compaq and HP
I have rails, but not with units. Actually those units have an L shape rail
that the unit just rests on. It's not a bearing slide type rail like the
servers use. Once installed, everything to do with that unit as accessible
from the front or rear. I'll be at my warehouse this weekend and let you
know, but I may have some frames without modules that would be cheap. As far
as power supplies are concerned, They are dirt cheap, so I was just thinking
of saving weight on shipping since you have them. I have never seen them
crap out so I doubt you need spares.

Shouldn't you return it to the seller now you have a refund?


Hmm.. You're just a tad late on this discussion.. The enclosure has already been
parted out and taken to the electronic salvage place run by LA county.. Yes, I did
get my $$ back but was able to keep the stuff as well since UPS paid the seller
directly.. You're just about 3 months late..
