Install the storage system into a rack, if necessary.

We recommend using the provided rail kit for installing

the storage system in a rack.

Safety information

Due to the weight of the storage system,

use two people to lift it into a rack.

Connect a keyboard and monitor (KVM) or connect to the

iLO Integrated Management Console on the storage

system. You will use this connection to assign a hostname

and IP address to the storage system.

(Optional) Connect a PC or laptop to the storage

system’s serial port using a null modem cable. On the

PC or laptop attached to the storage system, open a

session with a terminal emulation program, using the

following settings:

19200, 8-N-1

Make certain that all the drives are seated and latched.

Connect the power cord(s) to the storage system and plug

into the power source(s).

Warning

Use only the power cord(s) supplied with the storage

system. Other power cords may not fit correctly and may

cause problems maintaining power to the storage

system.

Prerequisites

Before configuring the network settings on individual storage

systems, have the following information ready:

• Host names

• IP addresses, subnet mask and gateway

Logging into the configuration interface

Type start, and then press Enter. Press Enter again to log in.

Use the tab key to move through the fields and menu options in

the configuration interface.

Configuration interface main menu

Tab to network TCP/IP settings and press Enter.

Selecting an interface to configure

Tab to select the network interface that you want to configure

(eth0, port1, or seth0) and press Enter.

Change the host name and set IP address

Use the backspace key to delete the default host name and assign

your own. Set the IP address, subnet mask and gateway.

Best practice

Manually assign IP addresses to the storage systems. Using DHCP

to obtain an IP address is not recommended unless using reserved

addresses.

Verify IP address

Ping the IP address of the storage system from another host on the

network to verify that it is operating correctly.

Repeat for each storage system.
