Restrictions and Limitations
The OpenFlex F3x00 and E3000 have the following restrictions and limitations on functionality:
•
The E3000 chassis must be full for proper airflow. If there is only one F3x00 storage device installed, the
rest of the slots must be filled with device blanks.
•
If the BMC Module is not installed in the E3000 chassis, F3x00 devices cannot be added or slot-
swapped. In the absence of BMC Module, the LEDs may not function as designed.
•
Only hot-swap a single device at a time. Never remove more than one at a time. Both PSUs must be
functional in order to detect new hot-plugged F3x00s.
•
The F3x00 storage device does not support RoCE v1; it supports RoCE v2 only.
•
Powering on an F3x00 storage device must be accomplished through the E3000 chassis (via its GUI)
that contains it, but powering off an F3x00 can be accomplished from the storage device itself (via its
GUI).
•
The F3x00 storage device data ports support IPv4 networking only.
•
The E3000 chassis device management port supports both IPv4 and IPv6 networking.
•
The E3000 chassis device does not support DNS configuration or administration.
