Initial Setup Using the Nimble Setup Manager

Procedure
1 Plug the power cables into both power supplies.
2 Verify that the connection is secure.

To minimize the risk of both power supplies losing power simultaneously, connect each power cable to a
different circuit.
If the array does not come online automatically, press the power button
Initial Setup Using the Nimble Setup Manager
After your array has been installed in the rack and connected to your network, you must complete the initial
setup of the array by configuring some basic settings to get the array running on the network.
This chapter describes using the HPE Nimble Storage Setup Manager (NSM), which has been installed on
a Windows host as part of the HPE Nimble Storage Windows Toolkit, to complete the initial setup. The NSM
has a graphical user interface (GUI) that allows you to easily complete the initial setup.
Note If you do not have a Windows host from which to complete the initial setup, you must use the NimbleOS
CLI. For more information, see
After the initial setup is complete, refer to the GUI Administration Guide or the CLI Administration Guide for
group and volume configuration, and additional optional configuration tasks.
