66 EqualLogic Configuration Guide | Version 15.2 | August 2014
Installation/Expansion
 If installing FS7500/FS76x0 into an existing EqualLogic SAN, verify the existing LAN and SAN
networks meet the minimum requirements.
 All NAS appliances in a NAS cluster must be of the same speed. Appliances with different
connectivity cannot be mixed in a NAS cluster.
- An FS7500 cluster can be expanded by using another FS7500 or an FS7600 but NOT an FS7610.
 Do not block IPv6 traffic on the SAN internal switches when utilizing FS Appliances. The FS76x0
uses IPv6 for internal communication and setup only; not for user data. Client communication
occurs over IPv4.
Network
 The two iDRAC IPMI ports on the FS7500 are 100Mb. The SAN switches must be able to support
100Mb in addition to 1Gbps speed.
