Support Matrix

Introduction

The purpose of this document is to provide information about supported software, firmware, and hardware for Dell EMC NX Series

Network Attached Storage (NAS) systems.

NX Series NAS systems are used to add easily-managed and cost-optimized file storage to a network. The NAS systems are optimized

servers dedicated to file serving (with print server capabilities) and can be managed remotely. The NX Series systems ship with the

Windows Storage Server operating system pre-installed, so the system can be up and running in a very short time.

NOTE: This Support Matrix contains the latest compatibility and interoperability information. If you observe

inconsistencies between this information and other documentation or references, this document supersedes all other

documentation.

NOTE: Refer to the Dell EMC Storage NX Windows NAS Series Configuration Guide for configuration examples specific

to your business.
