Dell EqualLogic Configuration Guide v11.3 
 
 
Appendix C  Supported iSCSI Initiators 
The scope of products available for Ethernet networking is too broad to allow Dell to test every device 
for use within an EqualLogic SAN. Dell’s goal is not to restrict which infrastructure components a 
customer can integrate with the EqualLogic SAN, but to provide a clear statement of how Dell will 
support 3
rd
 Party devices that have not been tested and validated by the switch vendors. We will 
provide support for these products to the best of our ability, but we make no guarantee that the device 
will be compatible with EqualLogic storage solutions.
