Getting Started

Getting started with your Intel
general steps:

This involves installing the hard disks, attaching any optional USB devices, attaching
the storage system to your network, and powering up the system.
For information about this step, refer to
Note: If your storage system does not have the maximum number of hard disks
already installed, it is recommended that you add all the disks that you want

2. Install the Storage System Console on a computer in the same subnet as your storage

3. Configure your storage system.
Before you can use your storage system, you must perform some initial configuration

For information about this step, refer to
page 21.

Manager) and log in.
For information about this step, refer to
"Logging in to the Manager" on page
