Enable engineers and partners to fully implement an ACER Altos NAS 700
Appliance.
Learners should meet the following prerequisites before installing a NAS 700

The ACER Altos NAS 700 Appliance is based on the Altos G710 server which
comes with two 36Gb U320 SCSI hard drives. ACER recommends that you
configure a RAID1 in order to offer redundancy for the Operating System.
Final users can use up to 6 additional internal hard disks for their data when
using the second SCSI cage, without requiring external enclosure. So this
configuration can offer a RAID 5 volume up to 730 GB of internal storage.
ACER Altos NAS 700 Appliance prevents soft-errors by using it’s snapshot and
TimeMark features. It increases storage utilization and provides both file and
block level access. It also offers 2 different backup solutions 1. standard Tape
backup and 2. High performing Disk to Disk (D2D) backup for your NAS shares
and SANDisks.
