Hi All,

I am looking for a number for Dell spare parts.

I have a server with a failed 600GB SAS Drive 15K and I need another drive.

My preference is for a new drive from Dell but I am struggling to find a contact number for Dell server spare parts.

The Dell IVR is useless, it has hung up on me three times so would perfer a direct number.

Alternatively is there a Dell spare parts supplier in NZ that we can call.

Thanks in advance

John

I'm assuming you don't have a Dell credit account? I just email our account manager and ask for stuff.

You can buy direct from their web store with the part number, e.g:

https://www.dell.com/en-nz/shop/dell-600gb-15k-rpm-sas-12gbps-25in-hot-plug-drive/apd/400-ajrf/storage-drives-media

Thanks Lias,

No we dont have a Dell credit account, we are a HP business, our customer had this when we took them over.

Ouch on that price, at least it in new.

I might by one from HP for $350 + GST and swap the caddy.

Watch out for drives that are firmware locked to a specific vendor!

Perpetually undecided.

Bollox,

I didn't know that was a thing.

Thanks for the heads up.

I've heard it's a thing in "big storage" (e.g. EMC arrays etc) but not seen it in commodity rack servers myself.

They typically still function on regular servers however common symptoms of non 'official' hardware are it reporting bad in ilo/idrac (making it hard to be alerted if it actually fails) and in my experience Dells usually ramp there fans up to 100% when they detect unknown parts.

Reminds me of a previous employer.... multinational with contract with Dell to supply all gear globally - talking 8000 staff, so a lot of laptops, desktops, plus servers at each office.

Rung once to see if a certain part was available for a machine, got told by the CSR that he wasnt sure but he'd put me to the spares team who would be able to confirm. The spares team line was picked up by an Asian girl who refused to deal with me at all until I handed over a credit card number.

I was gobsmacked - said I was just after information but nope, no CC, no info.

Called our account manager who found out what I was after after a couple of days.
