Introduction
The Dell™ PowerVault™ 735N system is an ultra-slimline, rack-mounted Network
Attached Storage (NAS) Appliance that supports up to two Intel
®
Pentium
®
III micro-
processors, has a large storage capacity, and is accessible by Microsoft ® Windows ® ,
UNIX ® , Novell ® NetWare ® , and Apple clients through support of multiple network
protocols and file systems.
These systems include the following service features to make troubleshooting and
repair easy and effective:
•
Dell PowerVault 735N NAS Manager, which is used through a browser to monitor
and manage the system
•
Dell Diagnostics, which checks for hardware problems
•
Embedded server management hardware, which monitors temperatures and
voltages throughout the system and notifies you if the system overheats, if a sys-
tem cooling fan malfunctions, or a power supply fails
The system chassis simplifies removing and replacing components. The Dell-
designed small computer system interface (SCSI) backplane board and hard-disk drive
carriers eliminate the extensive cabling and drive configuration usually required for a
SCSI subsystem.
The following options are offered for PowerVault 735N systems:
•
An integrated redundant arrays of independent disks (RAID) controller
•
A SCSI backplane extender board to support a fifth SCSI hard-disk drive in the
peripheral bay
•
A variety of expansion-card options
•
An optional Dell OpenManage™ Remote Assistant Card 2 (DRAC 2) for advanced
server management
