Manager appliance.Web browser Internet Explorer 6.0 or Mozilla Firefox 1.0 or later are required.
It should only be run after the hardware setup instructions have been completed and verified and
the machine has been powered up. To run the wizard, connect a cross-over ethernet cable from a
laptop or PC to the primary ethernet port on the 2U NAS Data Manager appliance. The cable plugs
into the left-hand NIC port (NIC1) when looking at the rear of the unit, see Figure 1-5.

Note: You may need to temporarily reset the IP address of the laptop or PC to 192.168.9.1 for
this to work correctly.
The setup wizard is intended to be easy to use and leads you through the initial system
configuration steps. Figure 1-6 shows an example start screen. For more details, see the
SGI InfiniteStorage Appliance Manager User's Guide, (P/N 007-4699-004 or later). Note that
only revision four or later will have the applicable information for this NAS product. Once the
software setup phase has completed, you must restart the SGI NAS system. Afterwards, you
should remove the cross-over cable and plug the system into the local area network. Note that once
the system has been restarted, you can monitor its performance, or change the software
configuration by going to https://your.server:1178/.
