INTRODUCTION

The

FXT 5000 Series Installation Guide

is written for system administrators who need to install and administer

Avere FXT Edge Filer hardware nodes in an Avere cluster. It assumes that you have a basic knowledge of networked
storage, including planning for and installing networked data storage components in a data center.

1.1 Cautions and Warnings

The following highlights are used in this document:

1.1.1 Precaution Statements Used in this Document

This document uses the following highlights to draw attention to potentially hazardous or undesirable situations:

A warning indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

A caution indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.

A notice indicates information considered important, but not related to personal harm or injury.

1.2 The FXT 5000 Series Platform

The FXT 5000 Series platform describes a product line of servers, also called filers or nodes, that run the Avere OS
software.

Each model in the FXT 5000 Series contains and uses multiple types of storage media and high-speed Gigabit
Ethernet data ports (either 25GbE or 10GbE) to support high-bandwidth network traffic. FXT 5000 Series nodes
feature NVRAM to protect written data in the event of a power outage or other failure, and redundant power
supplies.

The table below shows the features for each server type.
