Configuring your Dell DL1000

Configuration overview

After completing the DL Appliance Configuration Wizard, perform the following procedures to ensure
that your backup appliance and the servers that the appliance is backing up are correctly configured.
Configuration includes tasks such as configuring browsers to remotely access the DL1000 Core Console,
managing licenses, and setting up alerts and notifications. After you complete the configuration of the
Core, you can then protect agents and perform recovery.
NOTE: The appliance is configured with a 30–day temporary Rapid Recovery software license. To
obtain a permanent license key, log on to the Dell Data Protection | Rapid Recovery License Portal
at www.dell.com/DLActivation. For details on changing a license key, see the topic 'Updating or
changing a lincense' in the Rapid Recovery 6.0 on DL Appliances User's Guide at dell.com/support/
home.
NOTE: While using the DL1000 Backup To Disk Appliance, it is recommended that you use the
Appliance tab to configure the Core.

1. Log on as administrator and open the command prompt.

reboot.

Configuring browsers to remotely access the DL1000

browser's settings. The following procedures detail how to modify Internet Explorer, Google Chrome,
and Mozilla Firefox browser settings.
NOTE: To modify browser settings, you must be logged on to the machine with administrator
privileges.
NOTE: Because Chrome uses Internet Explorer settings, you must make the changes for Chrome
using Internet Explorer.
