Confirming support for your hardware and software components

Specific versions of hardware, firmware, software, drivers, and other components are designed
to work together.

The QuickSpecs for your disk enclosure model provide an up-to-date list of supported servers,
operating systems, controllers, switches, and software tools. Download and review the QuickSpecs
for your disk enclosure model to confirm that the components you plan to use are supported for
use with the disk enclosure.

Check the QuickSpecs before initially installing the disk enclosure and before making any changes
to an existing installation. QuickSpecs are available on the D3000 disk enclosures website.
