Can anyone else who has had experience configuring and supporting these  Dell EqualLogic PS4000E SANs also confirm that this USB adapter will work?

The cable you need to connect in between that and the EqualLogic is going to cost more than the serial port dongle itself.

This cable as well as the cable recommended by MASQ both work.
