DELL EqualLogic PS4000 Controller (0938090-02)

The DELL 0938090-02 EqualLogic PS4000 Controller is a replacement storage controller module designed for EqualLogic PS4000-series iSCSI SAN arrays. It is used to restore or maintain controller redundancy and keep array services available during hardware refresh or repair cycles. For teams standardising on the EqualLogic platform, sourcing the correct controller FRU helps minimise downtime and keeps configurations consistent across sites.

This controller is typically deployed in data center or server-room storage stacks where predictable iSCSI connectivity, stable firmware alignment, and consistent array behaviour are priorities. If you are aligning spares across your estate, you can also reference related DELL hardware families to keep procurement streamlined, and plan supporting components such as MEMORY where applicable to the host environment connected to the SAN.

Key Features

Key technical characteristics relevant for maintenance and integration in PS4000 environments include:

• EqualLogic PS4000-series controller module form factor to replace like-for-like hardware in compatible PS4000 arrays.
• Designed for iSCSI SAN controller duties to support block storage presentation to VMware, Hyper-V, and physical hosts.
• Controller redundancy support (array-dependent) to help maintain availability during controller replacement or service events.
• Array management integration to keep monitoring and administration consistent with existing EqualLogic operational procedures.
• Enterprise storage reliability focus to support 24/7 operation in production storage environments.
• FRU-style replacement approach to speed up maintenance workflows and reduce time spent on requalification.
• Compatibility-aligned hardware platform to help maintain firmware and configuration consistency within PS4000 deployments.
• Optimised for SAN lifecycle extension to keep existing EqualLogic arrays in service without a full platform migration.

Refurbished Quality and Warranty

This unit is refurbished hardware, cleaned and tested by technicians before entering stock to help reduce the risk of hardware defects. Refurbished spares are a practical way to extend the lifecycle of installed EqualLogic arrays, control budget compared to buying new, and reduce electronic waste.

All refurbished hardware from Direct Hardware Supply includes a one-year warranty from the date of purchase (batteries, tape drives and tape libraries include a three-month warranty). Extended warranty options are available on request. For broader infrastructure planning, related items such as SYSTEM BOARD components and alternative compute platforms like TOWER SERVER systems can support end-to-end refresh and maintenance strategies.
