1.2.1 GalaxyNASLX2 Model Descriptions
The GalaxyNASLX2 has 4 primary models with many storage variations:
1RU model PN GNAS1U-LX2-HEAD-FC or GNAS1U-LX2-HEAD-SCSI has riser cards that allow for
external RAID add-on capacity connected by SCSI or FC.
2RU model PN GNAS2U-LX2-CCCC has 8 internal SATA II hot swap drives in a RAID 5
configuration with capacities of 1TB up to 4TB.
3RU model PN GNAS3U-LX2-CCCC has 16 internal SATA II hot swap drives in a RAID 6
configuration with capacities of 2TB up to 8TB.
5RU model PN GNAS5U-LX2-CCCC has 24 internal SATA II hot swap drives in a RAID 6
configuration with capacities of 3TB up to 12TB
The GalaxyNASLX2 share the same basic setup, configuration, and administration so the main
portion of the manual will discuss these functions. Each Model will have an Appendix assigned at the
end of the manual to show differences and any uniqueness based on the model.
For ease of purpose, the main portion of the manual will
be based on the 3RU version of the GalaxyNASLX2.
