Release Notes
FS Series NAS configuration
64 Dell PS Series Configuration Guide
Installation/expansion
• If installing FS7500/FS76x0 into an existing PS Series SAN, verify the existing LAN and SAN
networks meet the minimum requirements.
• All NAS appliances in a NAS cluster must be of the same speed. Appliances with different
connectivity cannot be mixed in a NAS cluster.
- An FS7500 cluster can be expanded by using another FS7500 or an FS7600 but not an FS7610.
• Do not block IPv6 traffic on the SAN internal switches when utilizing FS Appliances. The FS76x0
uses IPv6 for internal communication and setup only; not for user data. Client communication occurs
over IPv4.
Network
• The two iDRAC IPMI ports on the FS7500 are 100Mb. The SAN switches must be able to support
100Mb in addition to 1Gbps speed.
