Your network attached storage (NAS) appliance enables you to easily add storage to a workgroup, small office, or small business network and offload the file management responsibilities from the server. The NAS appliance is a "headless" device, which means it has no keyboard, mouse, or monitor, but can be managed through the network or by using console redirection through a serial connection. The system offers the data security capabilities of general-purpose servers.
This document provides basic information about the system features, service features, and specifications.
The system offers the following major features:
The following software is included in the system:
The system includes the following service features to make troubleshooting and repair easy and effective, in most cases without tools or service aids:
The system chassis simplifies removing and replacing system components. You can replace an expansion card, a microprocessor, or DIMMs without removing the system board. The midplane board and hard- drive carriers eliminate the extensive cabling and drive configuration usually required for a hard- drive subsystem.
Devices are available that protect against power problems such as power
surges, transients, and power failures. The following subsections describe some
of the devices.
Surge protectors are available in a variety of types and usually provide a
level of protection commensurate with the cost of the device. Surge protectors
prevent voltage spikes, such as those caused during an electrical storm, from
entering a system through the electrical outlet. Surge protectors, however, do
not offer protection against brownouts, which occur when the voltage drops more
than 20 percent below the normal AC line voltage level.
Line conditioners go beyond the overvoltage protection of surge protectors.
Line conditioners keep a system’s AC power source voltage at a fairly constant
level and, therefore, can handle brownouts. Because of this added protection,
line conditioners cost more than surge protectors—up to several hundred
dollars. However, the devices cannot protect against a complete loss of power.
UPS systems offer the most complete protection against variations in power
because they use battery power to keep the system running when AC power is lost.
The battery is charged by the AC power while it is available, so once AC power
is lost, the battery can provide power to the system for a limited amount of
time—from 15 minutes to an hour or so—depending on the UPS system.
UPS systems range in price from a few hundred dollars to several thousand
dollars, with the more expensive units allowing you to run larger systems for a
longer period of time when AC power is lost. UPS systems that provide only 5
minutes of battery power allow you to conduct an orderly shutdown of the system,
but they are not intended to provide continued operation. Surge protectors
should be used with all UPS systems, and the UPS system should be Underwriters
Laboratories (UL) safety-approved.
