G300 Gateway Appliance
Hardware Description
The StorNext G300 Gateway Appliance ships with two 3.5” 500GB 7.2K RPM SATA hard
disk drives (HDD) in a 1+1 RAID 1 configuration for the G300 platform software.
StorNext G300 Gateway servers include the following components:
• Two 2.4 GHz 6-core CPUs
• 24 GBs of memory (12GB/CPU)
• Redundant cooling fans and power
Note:
The server ships with one 2-port 8 GB FC PCIe card in slot 4; two embedded 1
GbE Ethernet ports; and two expansion PCIe Ethernet cards that differ
depending on the StorNext G300 model.
StorNext G300 Gateway Appliance models differ with regard to type and number of
Ethernet expansion cards.
• G301 ships with two 4-port 1 GbE Ethernet PCIe expansion cards in slots 1 and 2.

Appliance Ports
For the StorNext G301 Gateway Appliance, the MDC network is always a bonded
(bond0) network. Physical ports 3 and 4 are dedicated to the MDC network. Ports 5
through 10 are dedicated to the LAN client network. The LAN client network is either
bonded (bond1) or configured as individual network interfaces. When bonded, the
G301 Gateway’s LAN client network includes the on-board embedded Ethernet port 2
for a total of 7 network ports (see
on page 4 for port descriptions).
