Installing Drobo Dashboard

Drobo Dashboard is the software companion to your Drobo device, enabling you to easily set
up and manage your Drobo FS/B800fs. You install Drobo Dashboard from the Resource CD
that came with your product. During the installation process, you can set Drobo Dashboard
to automatically install version updates, which we highly recommend. Drobo software and
firmware updates can also be installed from www.drobo.com/support/updates.php.
Important Note: In some cases, the latest version may be released with new
products (on a Resource CD) for a short period of time before being made available
on the website. Therefore it is best to install from the Resource CD.
Note: The computer on which you install Drobo Dashboard needs to be connected to
your network and you need to have administrator rights on that computer.
