This document provides an overview of the Microsoft

Windows

Storage Server 2003 R2 x64 Edition with SP2 operating system and information

about configuring, localizing, and installing your Dell™ Network Attached

Storage (NAS) system on a corporate network.

The following topics are covered in this document:

• Overview

• Naming Convention

• Configuring your NAS system

• Localizing your system using the Multilanguage User Interface (MUI)

• Starting the Windows Storage Server Management Console

• Accessing the Microsoft Management Console (MMC)

Overview

The Windows

Storage Server 2003 R2 x64 Edition with SP2 operating system

adds new search capabilities, simplified setup and storage management,

extensibility, and is specially tuned to provide optimal NAS performance.

Windows Storage Server 2003 R2 x64 Edition with SP2 provides significant

enhancements in storage management scenarios, and ease of installation.

Your NAS system is preconfigured with the Windows

Storage Server 2003 R2

x64 Edition with SP2 operating system. Most of the setup procedures are

completed for you and do not require user intervention.

When your system boots for the first time, the

Microsoft Mini Setup

process

begins. When completed, your system automatically reboots and you can access

the server either locally or remotely.

NOTE: If your system is pre-configured with software redundant array of

independent disks (RAID) 5, the system performs a RAID synchronization to optimize

the array. The process runs in the background and may affect your overall system

performance until it completes. If the system is powered off before the process

completes, RAID synchronization will begin again when the system is powered up

and continue until it completes.

Getting Started Guide 7

Configuring Your NAS System

Configuring Your System Using a Keyboard, Monitor, and Mouse

NOTE: Depending on your method of configuration, local keyboard, video, and

mouse (KVM) connections may be required to complete the installation and

configuration procedures. If your remote system can complete the configuration

procedures, local KVM connections are not required for operation.

Connect a keyboard, monitor, and mouse to the NAS system.

For information about system connectors, see your system’s

User’s Guide

Turn on the NAS system.

NOTE: The default administrator user name is administrator

and the default password is storageserver

Configuring Your System For Network Access

If your NAS system is powered on, turn it off.

Connect one end of an Ethernet cable into one of the 10/100/1000 RJ-45

NIC connectors (see Figure 1-2) on the back of your NAS system.

For more information about the location of system connectors, see your

NAS system’s

User’s Guide

Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to a functioning Ethernet jack.

Turn on the NAS system.

Verify that the server is connected to the Ethernet by ensuring that the

LED associated with the network interface controller (NIC) connector

is on. See Figure 1-2. If the NIC connector’s LED is a steady green color,

then the connection is good. If the NIC connector’s LED is a flashing

amber color, then data is successfully being transferred.

If the LED is not on, ensure that each end of the Ethernet cable is seated

properly in the NIC connector and the Ethernet jack.

The NAS system retrieves the required information to set up network

parameters (the IP address, gateway subnet mask, and DNS server address)

from a

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (

DHCP) server on the network.

NOTE: Depending on your configuration and the amount of storage attached

to the NAS system, it may take several minutes for the NAS system to boot.

Configuring the Network IP Address for the NAS System

If you have a DHCP server on your network, you are not required to configure

your NAS system’s IP address because DHCP automatically assigns an address

to the NAS system. If your network is not configured with a DHCP server,

configure the NAS system’s IP address through the

Network Configuration

window.

To access the

Network Configuration

window, click

Start

→

Settings

→

Control

Panel

→

Network Configuration

NOTE: If you do not have a DHCP server on your network, a local keyboard,

monitor, and a mouse is required to complete your NAS configuration. For more

information, see "Configuring Your System Using a Keyboard, Monitor, and Mouse"

on page 7.

NOTE: The Windows Firewall is enabled by default. When you access the remote

system, you may experience issues with connectivity.
