The LANserver EX3 is a standalone system that runs the MediaNetwork
software. It is a dual-processor, rack-mount PC system that contains 17 hard
drives; 1 for the operating system and 16 250 GB drives for storing data.
The original LANserver EX3 shipped in January 2005 with 180 GB drives and
v3.5 software. The LANserver EX3 now ships with 250 GB drives and v3.6
software. You must have v3.6 software to use the 250 GB drives. There are
labels on the drives that show their size.
The front of the LANserver EX3 has a single door (see
Front Door Closed"). The door can be locked to prevent access to the internal
components while the LANserver EX3 is running.
