Initial Setup Using the HPE Alletra Setup Service

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 and connected to HPE GreenLake.
This chapter describes how to complete the process from a Windows host. If you do not have a Windows host from which to
complete the initial setup, you must use the CLI. For more information, see Initial Setup Using the Array CLI on page 46.

Important: Make sure that the version of the toolkit is compatible with the version of the operating system on your
array. For compatibility information, see the Validated Configuration Matrix tool, which is available on HPE InfoSight
(https://infosight.hpe.com/resources/nimble/validated-configuration-matrix).
