The Dell™ PowerVault™ 715N network attached storage (NAS) appliance enables you to easily add storage to a
workgroup, small office or small business network and offload the file management responsibilities from the server. The

of general-purpose servers.
The system includes the following service features to make troubleshooting and repair easy and effective:
A temperature monitor that shuts down the system if the temperature exceeds the threshold setting
System Diagnostics, which checks for hardware problems
PowerVault NAS Manager, which is used through a browser to monitor and manage the system.
A chassis and system board that simplifies removing and replacing components
Microsoft® Windows® Powered operating system help (available through Terminal Services)
