Appendix C
Your Snap Server 700i Series
This appendix provides information and assistance to system or network
administrators preparing for the installation of a Snap Server 700i Series iSCSI
Storage Appliance on their network. Every network topology is different, and every
administrator works with different goals and resources. Using this appendix,
administrators can determine what additional hardware components to acquire and
what network configurations are possible.
Hardware Components
The Snap Server 700i Series comes with the hardware required to install the server
into an EIA-compliant rack (if applicable), as well as the cables required to connect
the server to a power source and to an Ethernet network. Other hardware required
for a basic installation, such as Ethernet switches, racks, and UPS devices, must be
supplied by the administrator from third-party vendors. You can also create
advanced configurations using the SANbloc S50 expansion array to add capacity.
The hardware checklists in this appendix show the required and optional hardware
components that are available.
