The NAS 100 is a 1U-high, table-top or 19-inch rack-mountable (using the optional Rack Mounting Kit) system with a 1.26 GHz Pentium III processor, 512 MB ECC memory, four hot-swap 120 GB (physical capacity) ATA HDDs, and two copper gigabit Ethernet ports. The NAS 100 is designed to be an easy-to-install and easy-to-manage storage system. It does not use video display, keyboard, or mouse, but rather uses LEDs to The NAS 100 system will also continue to be orderable display hardware system status to simplify local by machine/type/model/feature via the AAS ordering monitoring. system as well as being orderable via part number.

This configuration is fixed and may not be modified in any way. The system • One Ultra2 SCSI port for tape backup (optional partition is mirrored between the first and second drive. adapter) The third and fourth drives contain a copy of the operating • Two full-duplex, Copper 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet system that is used for service if needed. Thus, the ports operating system and application code are protected by failover in the event of a failure on any one of the drives. • 162-watt power supply The user data portion of the four drives is configured by The NAS 100 system is tuned to provide solid system the plant to implement RAID5 for optimum use in most throughput from processor, to memory, to bus, to customer environments. This initial configuration may be disk-intensive I/O, making the NAS 100 an excellent reconfigured by the user. The NAS 100 supports RAID0, choice. RAID1, and RAID5.
