Connecting the px12-350r

Initial Setup
If you have purchased more than one px12-350r, complete all steps on one device before setting up
additional devices.
1. Use the included network cable to connect the px12-350r to a network hub or switch.
2. Connect the included power cords to the power supply connectors on the back of the px12-350r
and to an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). This provides redundant power for your px12-350r.
3. Power on the px12-350r.
4. From a computer on your network, open a web browser and go to http://setup.lenovoemc.com to
set up your px12-350r on your network. For best results, use a computer that is connected to the
same subnet or network segment as the px12-350r
You can access the px12-350r Management Console directly by entering the IP address or model
name of your px12-350r in your computer's web browser. To use the model name on a Mac, add
.local after the name in the browser (for example, px12-350r.local).
OPTIONAL: if desired, install the LenovoEMC Storage Manager and Media Aggregation software.
If you install LenovoEMC Storage Manager, its icon will appear in the System Tray (Windows) or
Menu Bar (Mac). The LenovoEMC Storage Manager will automatically scan your network and
connect to available Shares.
If you receive a message from your operating system's firewall alerting you of network activity, be
sure to unblock communications.
Mac Users: Shares on the px12-350r will mount and appear on the Mac Desktop.
PC Users: Shares on the px12-350r will automatically be assigned a drive letter and will be
available in the Network Drives section under My Computer.

Network Settings

The Network page of your px12-350r is where you make changes to set up network connectivity. The
Network page displays your current network settings and enables those settings to be modified. On this
page, you can identify your DNS servers and WINS servers and how your system's IP address is
determined. Most system IP addresses and other network settings can normally be configured
automatically.
Manually Configuring Your Network
If you are comfortable with network technology and want to configure the network, refer to
Configuring Network Settings.
Bonded NICs
If your px12-350r has multiple network interface cards (NICs), you can bond those NICs. Refer to
NICs.
