Hardware Overview - Dell PowerSwitch N4000 Serie Guía De Introducción

The N4000 Series includes storage networking support and iSCSI
optimization. To simplify connectivity with Dell EqualLogic arrays, the iSCSI
Auto-Configuration feature in all N4000 Series switches automatically
detects the arrays and configures the switch for optimal throughput. This
feature is enabled by default, streamlining the process to just connecting a
cable. Connectivity with Dell Compellent arrays is also simplified with a
single command configuration.
Dell designed the N4000 Series for energy savings from the power cord to the
ports, starting with EEE-capable ports to reduce active and passive port
power consumption for all ports. In addition to redundant power supplies
that can operate efficiently in all modes, variable speed fans reduce
consumption by adjusting their speed for their environment through multiple
temperature monitors. Lastly, the N4000 Series includes Dell's Lifetime
Limited Warranty with Basic Hardware Service (repair or replacement) for
life.
