•
Confirm with the network administrator that you may proceed
with network configuration.
•
Obtain an unused IP address from the network administrator.
Do not use the factory-default IP address (192.0.0.192) when
installing the server. Do not assign an IP address before
consulting the network administrator.
•
If Using DNS or WINS Host Names:
Obtain the unique host name from the network administrator.
Then associate it with the HP CD/DVD-ROM server's IP
address on your DNS server, using the appropriate procedures
for your server. Consult your network administrator or your
system manuals.
If you intend to use WINS, you must enable WINS when you
configure your server later. (See "Methods for Configuration" on
page 3-11 and access the IP configuration.)
•
Note the LAN hardware address (MAC address) printed on the
LAN Address label attached to the server or (top of) the tower.
The address is in the form of twelve hexadecimal digits, such as
0060B0hhhhhh (where h is a hexadecimal digit).
•
Verify that the server is powered up and connected to the
network.

To use a UNIX system to do one of the procedures in this
section, obtain root privileges.
•
To use Windows NT or UNIX to do a DHCP or BOOTP
procedure in this section, obtain administrator privileges.
In this section the methods are summarized, and then each specific
procedure is given. The methods available to you for assigning the
IP address to the server depend on your network operating system.
