PRELIMINARY AND CONFIDENTIAL
Introduction
The Version 1.10 Hardware Release Note describes NetServer™ hardware features and configurations
supported in software Version 1.10. This release note updates the hardware information in the NS 7000
Model 150/250 Series Hardware Manual, NS 7000 Model 650 Series Hardware Manual, NS 7000 Model 700
Series Hardware Manual, and NS 7000 Model 800 Series Hardware Manual for customers upgrading from
software Version 1.6.1 and later.
While this document includes hardware supported from previous software versions, not all hardware
discussed in this release note is currently available from Auspex.
Additionally, this release note provides the following information:
s
Documentation changes to the NS 7000™ family of products
s
Declaration of Conformity for the NS 7000 NetServer product line
s
Notice of VCCI Compliance
Refer to the Version 1.10 Software Release Note (part number: 850502-001) for new software features and
installation procedures. Refer to the System Manager’s Guide (part number: 850515-001) for instructions
on using the software.
The remainder of this section traces the development of hardware features from software Version 1.6.1
to present, and concludes with a section describing hardware features that are not supported in
software Version 1.10. The remainder of this document provides sections explaining and expanding
on the impact of those features, such as in areas of power requirements and network configurations.
Not all sections of this release note may apply to you depending on the software version running on
your system. For example, if your NetServer came from the factory with Version 1.8 software, the
hardware manuals for that system already include information regarding the NS 7000/060 expansion
cabinet, which was first available with software Version 1.6.1.
Note:
Information in this release note about Host Processor- or Storage Processor-attached
extended storage devices is for reference only. Complete information on how to attach and
operate extended storage devices ships separately with each device.
Note:
Version 1.10 is a software release only. No new hardware is introduced with
software Version 1.10.
