GN1600 F1 features Windows Storage Server R2 Operating System
Microsoft®Windows®Storage Server 2008 R2 operating system provides file storage and print server
capabilities for client and server computers in your network environment. Storage appliances running Windows
Storage Server 2008 R2 can be used in failover clusters, providing high availability storage for application
servers and file storage.
Single Instance Storage (SIS) v2
SIS reduces the amount of storage used by data by replacing
multiple identical copies with logical links to a single source copy.
File Server Optimization
Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 is tuned to provide better
performance in a file server role, realizing as much as an 8%
performance gain in file system operations.
Remote Administra
tion in
Heterogeneous Environments
Remote administration of Windows Storage Server 2008 R2
appliances can be done from Internet Explorer using an ActiveX
control, and from non-Microsoft browsers using a Java control.
Print Services
Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 offers performance
enhancements for the Print Services role.
Distributed File System (DFS)
Namespace and Replication
Windows Storage Server 2008 R2
can provide DFS support for file
sharing for WANs and satellite offices
Microsoft iSCSI Software Target
Microsoft iSCSI Software Target provides centralized, software-based and hardware-independent iSCSI disk
subsystems in storage area networks (SANs). You can use iSCSI Software Target, which includes a Microsoft
Management Console (MMC) snap-in, to create iSCSI targets and iSCSI virtual disks. You can then use the
Microsoft iSCSI Software Target console to manage all iSCSI targets and virtual disks created using iSCSI
Software Target.
Microsoft iSCSI Software Target 3.2 provides the following features:

Improved CHAP Secret
Storage
Microsoft iSCSI Software Target 3.2 uses a more secure and
customizable storage method for CHAP secrets.
ERL0 Compliant
Connection and session reinstatement is now fully ERL0
compliant.
Microsoft Management Console
Microsoft®Management Console (MMC) is an extensible common presentation service for management
applications. MMC unifies and simplifies day-to-day system management tasks. It hosts tools and displays them
as consoles. These tools, consisting of one or more applications, are built with modules called snap-ins. The
snap-ins also can include additional extension snap-ins. Microsoft Management Console enables system
administrators to create special tools to delegate specific administrative tasks to users or groups. Microsoft
provides standard tools with the operating system that perform everyday administrative tasks that users need to
accomplish.
Task Orientation
The tools being defined to work with MMC are task oriented in
nature—they cater to the task being performed rather than merely
displaying the raw objects that can be manipulated. Also, because
administrators can customize their own tools, using pieces from
various v
endors, they can create tools that contain only the UI they
need to complete their tasks.
Integration
The UI for all the management tasks an administrator must
perform are collected into a single console. As new applications
are added to a computer or network, their administration is
integrated into the existing administration common console.
Customization of Consoles
Administrators can create custom consoles tailored to their
particular management needs. This is useful in enterprise
environments that divide administrator groups according to duties.
For example, you can create a custom console for software
installation and maintenance, another one for scripts
administrators, another one for security Group Policy, and so on.
Delegation
Administrators can easily modify existing tools to create new tools
with reduced functionality and less complex views of the tool
namespace, and then give these tools to others. A person who
receives such a tool is presented with a simpler, more manageable
view of the tasks they are being asked to perform.
Overall Interface
Simplification
All tools built for MMC, from Microsoft or third-party software
vendors, will have a similar appearance, making it easier for users
to use all tools after learning one. Because you can mix a
nd match
tools from any vendor, you can use the best tool from each
management product category. MMC also enables a single piece
of software to provide functionality across the interface in a
consistent manner.
Extensibility
Developers can extend the base functionality of MMC snap-ins by
creating extension snap-
ins. This allows software vendors to reuse
Microsoft tools without writing a lot of code. Various mechanisms
are available for extending snap-ins, including extending the
namespace, context menus, toolbars, Property pages, and
creating Wizard 97-style pages.

Memory Specifications
Each processor has three memory channels (1, 2 and 3) and each channel has two slots - A (PxDIMM1A, 2A, 3A
in blue) and B (PxDIMM1B, 2B, 3B in black). So, the system has a total of twelve memory slots. The memory
slots support DDR3-1333 registered/unbuffered ECC memory modules, but it’s not allowed to mix RDIMM and
UDIMM in a system. For all memory modes, the slot A in each channel should be populated first. If slot A is
empty, slot B can’t be used.
NOTE:
When you are using a single-processor server, you should install the memory module into P1DIMM1A to P1DIMM3B slots when CPU is
installed in CPU1 socket.
The P2DIMM1A to P2DIMM3B slots are enabled when a second CPU is installed on the CPU2 socket.
For the system to function, DIMM modules must be installed following the slot sequence listed below. DIMM
module of the same type, size and manufacturer must be installed in the same colored DIMM slots.

Mirroring or Lockstep mode:
Mirroring mode & Lockstep mode need the channel 1 & channel 2 with identical DIMMs. 1A and 2A should
be the same type, size and manufacturer. 1B and 2B memory should be the same type, size and
manufacturer.
Channel 3 is no function in this mode.
Same rule is applied to the CPU2 memory channel 1, 2, 3.
For mirroring mode, the memory contains a primary image and a copy of the primary image. Therefore, the
effective size of memory is reduced by at least one-half.

Sparing mode
In this mode, if the system detects degrading memory and did not crash, the data in the failed channel will be
copied to the spare channel. The failed channel is then isolated and the spare channel becomes active.
However, any uncorrectable error that happens before the isolation will still cause the system to stop normal
operation.
Channel 3 is the spare channel. Therefore, the effective size will be reduced by one-third.
Follow the population rules described in the independent mode.
Sparing mode requires that all three channels use identical DIMMs. 1A, 2A and 3A should be the same type,
size and manufacturer, likewise for 1B, 2B and 3B. The same rule applies to processor 2.

AN1600 F1 Network Storage System Quick Specification
Storage
The AN1600 F1 chassis was designed to support twelve 3.5" SAS/SATA hot-swappable hard drives. As a system, ach
server board supports the use of three SATA drives. A single SATA backplane works to apply system-based control
for power and fan speed functions. RAID setup is limited to a three-drive scheme (RAID cannot be spread across all
twelve drives).
