Configuring the DR Series System Settings
This topic introduces the concept that before you can run any DR Series system operations, you first need to understand
the following key tasks:
•
how to initialize the system
•
how to shut down or reboot the system

how to manage the system password
Initializing the DR Series system requires that you configure and manage a number of very important system settings.
NOTE:
Dell recommends that you use the

to configure your DR Series system.
Changing some of the system settings using the DR Series system GUI (such as bonding, MTU, hostname, IP
address, and DNS) can cause issues that may affect your DR Series system GUI access.
