Equipment Required for Installation

To connect, install and administer your StorageWorks NAS S1000, you will need an
available 10/100 Ethernet network hub or switch port. It will be necessary for your
workstation to have the following capabilities:
• Windows 95/98/Me/NT (SP5)/2000/XP
• Internet Explorer v5.01 or newer - support for Netscape is not currently available.
NOTE:
• Client for Microsoft Networks enabled over TCP/IP
• Ethernet Connection
• DVD/CD-ROM Drive

Site Planning

When planning a site to house your StorageWorks NAS S1000, you will want to consider
requirements for power and network availability, as well as a space with well regulated
temperature and humidity that is relatively free of dust and other airborne contaminants.
If your installation calls for placement on a table top, apply the enclosed rubber feet to the
bottom of the chassis.
