Building an IP SAN Without a DHCP Server
If you will be adding your iSCSI Storage Appliance to a network without a DHCP
server, the IP address will default to 10.10.10.10. Follow the instructions in this
section to place the server on your IP subnet before using Adaptec Storage Manager
to configure the server as an iSCSI Storage Appliance.
On a system in your environment (for instance, the system where you will install

telnet 10.10.10.10
You will automatically be placed in the CLI Installation wizard. To exit the

wizard and go to the administrator prompt, enter this command:
*abort
If prompted for an ID and password, enter:

It will take a few seconds for the IP address to change, and you will lose
connection to the iSCSI Storage Appliance. The LCD screen on the Snap Server
700i Series bezel will show the new IP address.
Continue with "Installing Adaptec Storage Manager" on page 27 to begin your IP
