Base and expansion cabinets
A minimum X9720 Network Storage System base cabinet has from 3 to 16 performance blocks
(that is, server blades) and from 1 to 4 capacity blocks. An expansion cabinet can support up to
four more capacity blocks, bringing the system to eight capacity blocks.
The servers are configured as file serving nodes, with one of the servers hosting the active Fusion
Manager. The Fusion Manager is responsible for managing the file serving nodes. The file serving
nodes are responsible for managing segments of a file system.
