PowerVault NX Series Product Support Matrix

Introduction

This document provides information about supported software, firmware, and hardware for PowerVault NX Series Network

Attached Storage (NAS) systems.

Topics:

• Revision history

• PowerVault NX Series NAS Systems

• Operating system

NX Series NAS systems are used to add easily managed and cost-optimized file storage to a network. The NAS systems are

optimized servers that are dedicated to file serving (with print server capabilities) and can be managed remotely. The NX Series

systems ship with the Windows Storage Server operating system preinstalled, so the system can be up and running in a short

time.

NOTE:

This Support Matrix contains the latest compatibility and interoperability information. If you observe inconsistencies

between this information and other documentation or references, this document supersedes all other documentation.

NOTE: Refer to the Dell EMC Storage NX Windows NAS Series Configuration Guide for configuration examples specific to

your business.
