attach the storage system to your network, and power up the system.

Note: If your storage system does not have the maximum number of hard disks
2. Install the Storage System Console on a computer in the same subnet as your storage
system and initialize the hard disks on your storage system. Install the operating
system and other software from your storage system's flash memory to each of the
hard disks in your storage system. Your vendor might have already performed this
step for you.

3. Configure your storage system: Before you can use your storage system, you must
perform initial configuration tasks, like setting the date and time, and specifying how
much space to use for file sharing and how much to use for backups. The System
Setup Wizard guides you through this process.
For information about this step, see
4. After the storage system restarts, access the Web-based management interface (the
Manager) and log in.
For information about this step, see
"Logging in to the Manager" on page
5. Add users. This is necessary only if you use local authentication mode and want to
control access to the shared folders, or if some users in your network use Linux or
Macs other than those running Mac OS X*.
For information about this step, see
6. Create shared folders. By default, the Intel
a shared folder named public. You might want to create other shared folders. For
example, in an office environment, you might want to create a shared folder for
company policies that everyone can view, and separate folders for confidential
business documents that only selected individuals can view or change. In a home
environment, you might want to set up separate folders for different types of files, like
photos, videos, or music.
