Preface

With one or more PS Series storage arrays, you can create a PS Series group—a self-managing, iSCSI

storage area network (SAN) that is affordable and easy to use, regardless of scale.

This manual describes how to install PS4100 array hardware, configure the software, and start using the

SAN.

Audience

The information in this guide is intended for the administrators responsible for installing array hardware.

Administrators are not required to have extensive network or storage system experience. However, it may

be helpful to understand:

• Basic networking concepts

• Current network environment

• User disk storage requirements

• RAID configurations

• Disk storage management

Note: Although this manual provides examples of using PS Series arrays in some common network

configurations, detailed information about setting up a network is beyond its scope.
