It will then re-scan for any Uninitialized Systems and if none are found, you will be taken to the Initialized Systems screen (Fig. 66). However, if you wish to only configure one Uninitialized System, the one you are configuring, and choose not to configure any other discovered Uninitialized System, click the Next button.

3. You are presented with a Welcome screen and instructions to

proceed. Review the information and click the

button. (

Fig.

4. The wizard will begin searching for Embedded StorView Mod-

ules (

Fig. 63

Those Embedded Modules with their default password intact are

considered an Uninitialized System and will be displayed with their

MAC and IP address in the Uninitialized Systems window.

5. From the Uninitialized Systems screen (

Fig. 64

), select the MAC

address of the Embedded Module you wish to conﬁgure. Use

the MAC address you noted for the speciﬁc RAID Controller

from the installation steps.

✦

If you wish to use a DHCP server to assign your IP address,

click the check box

Use DHCP

✦

If you wish to manually conﬁgure your network setting, enter

the correction information in the appropriate ﬁelds.

Enter a “new” password and enter the new password conﬁrmation.

Click the

Conﬁgure

button.

6. If you have additional Uninitialized Systems, select the next MAC

address and choose the appropriate settings referring to the

previous step.

Once you have completed conﬁguring all the Uninitialized Systems

and have clicked the

Conﬁgure

button, the wizard will display a

popup message indicating all systems have been conﬁgured. It will

then re-scan for any Uninitialized Systems and if none are found, you

will be taken to the Initialized Systems screen (

Fig. 66

However, if you wish to only conﬁgure one Uninitialized System, the

one you are conﬁguring, and choose not to conﬁgure any other

discovered Uninitialized System, click the

button. The prompt

shown in

Fig. 65

will appear. Click the

YES

button to continue or

to cancel and return to the Uninitialized Systems screen.

IMORTANT INFO:

While you are performing the setup if some-

one plugs in a RAID Controller with an uninitialized module to the

network (same subnet mask) during the time of the rescan or resets

a system’s password back to the defaults, you will be taken to the

Uninitialized System screen again.
