a SnapServer (for additional details, see

Wake-on-LAN Support

Wake-on-LAN, the Ethernet computer networking standard that allows a powered-off
computer to be powered on by a network signal, is automatically enabled (and cannot be
disabled) for Ethernet 1 (Management) and Ethernet 2 ports. Wake-on-LAN is activated when
another computer on the same LAN sends a "magic packet" to the SnapServer using the
SnapServer Manager or other program designed to send magic packets. Wake-on-LAN only
works for SnapServers and does not work with any expansion units that may be attached to
the system.

Expansion Units

To increase the capacity of a SnapServer DX-series server, use one or more SnapExpansion
units.
NOTE: If GuardianOS detects an expansion unit that is not integrated with the SnapServer, a
The SnapExpansion is a 2U, 12-bay SAS-connected expansion unit for expanding either
SnapServer DX1 or DX2 systems. The SnapExpansion supports SAS and SATA hard drives
and allows capacity growth by creating additional DynamicRAID storage pools.
• By adding the optional SAS expansion card to the SnapServer DX1, you can attach up to
three SnapExpansion chassis to grow storage up to 120TB.
• The SnapServer DX2 includes the SAS expansion card that allows for seven
SnapExpansion chassis to be attached, to scale up to 288TB in total space.
A SnapExpansion is accessed and managed through the SnapServer head unit to which it is
connected. The expansion unit has no physical connection to the network.
