Prerequisites
This document assumes that the Drobo to be utilized with Plex has been installed and is accessible from the host
computer. If the initial configuration has not been completed, reference the URL below for installation instructions.

Both Plex Media Server and Plex Media Center must be installed on the host computer. The download links to both
applications can be found in the What You Will Need section of this document. The installations can be performed
accepting all defaults, as any customizations will be configured later in this document.
NOTE: Once the Plex Media Server installation completes, a dialog will appear to create a MyPlex account. This is
an optional service that will allow social and mobile sharing of content stored in the Plex Media Server. For more
information on MyPlex, consult the URL below.
