Using Your Appliance for the First Time 1-1

This document provides guidelines for installing and configuring your Dell™ PowerVault™

NAS appliance the first time you use it.

The PowerVault 750N is a NAS appliance that is either a tower or rackmount platform, and

the PowerVault 755N is a NAS appliance that is a rackmount platform.

The systems are "headless" systems that are managed through the onboard Ethernet

connection; they operate without a keyboard, monitor, or mouse. (While you can connect

these peripherals to an appliance, you generally do not need them unless you are

troubleshooting the appliance.) The systems are normally managed and monitored through

a Web-based user interface, the PowerVault NAS Manager, that runs from a browser on

another system on the network.

To complete your NAS appliance installation and configuration, you need to follow and

complete the instructions for each of the following three phases:

• Phase one: Setting up your hardware

• Phase two: Configuring the initial network settings

• Phase three: Using the NAS appliance

Phase One: Setting Up Your Hardware

1Remove the NAS appliance from the shipping box.

2If your NAS appliance is a rackmount platform, install it in your rack following the

instructions in the Rack Installation Guide that came with your NAS appliance or rack.

If your NAS appliance is a tower platform, place it in or near its final location.

3Cable any external devices to the back of the system using the cables that came with

or are attached to those external devices.

(Normally, you do not need to connect a keyboard, mouse, or monitor to the

appliance.) For more cabling information, see the User's Guide that came with the

appliance.

1-2 Using Your Appliance for the First Time

www.dell.com | support.dell.com

When connecting external devices to the back panel of your system, use the following

guidelines:

• Check the documentation that accompanied the device for specific installation

and configuration instructions. For example, most devices must be attached to a

particular port or connector to operate properly. In addition, it is usually necessary

to install device drivers before the device can operate. Device drivers are normally

included with your operating system software, or with the device itself.

• Always attach external devices while your system is turned off. Unless

documentation for the device specifies otherwise, power on the external device

before powering on the system again. (If the system does not seem to recognize

the device, try turning on the system before turning on the device.)

For information about enabling, disabling, or configuring I/O ports and connectors,

see "Using the System Setup Program" in the User's Guide that came with the NAS

appliance.

• If you have external storage systems, connect them to the NAS appliance using

SCSI cables and the SCSI controller card connectors installed in the PCI slots.

For more information, see the documentation that came with your storage

systems.

4Cable the NAS appliance to your Ethernet network.

Connect the PowerVault 750N NAS appliance to your Ethernet network using an

Ethernet cable and the integrated Intel®10/100 NIC connector on the back of the

NAS appliance.

Connect the PowerVault 755N NAS appliance to your Ethernet network using an

Ethernet cable and one of the following connectors on the back of the NAS appliance:

• Integrated Intel 10/100 NIC

• Integrated 64-bit/66 MHz PCI 10/100/1000 Ethernet controller

For more cabling information, see the User’s Guide that came with the appliance.

5Install the AC power cables between the power supplies on the back of the system and

the electrical outlets.

For more information, see the User's Guide that came with the appliance.

Using Your Appliance for the First Time 1-3

Phase Two: Configuring the Initial Network

Settings

After you turn on the NAS appliance and it completes the boot process, you can perform

the basic network configuration on your NAS appliance. There are several methods

available for configuring the network settings on your system, depending on your network

environment and your personal preferences.

For complete configuration process instructions, see the "Introduction" section of the

System Administrator's Guide that came with the appliance.

Using DHCP and Keeping all Default Settings

Use this option if your NAS appliance is installed on a network that has a DHCP server and

you want to keep the default settings and use the default system name.

• If DHCP is installed on your network, your system automatically configures the

network settings.

• The default system name is assigned as "Dellxxxxxxx", where xxxxxxx is the system’s

service tag number.

• The default administrator password is powervault.

Using DHCP and Your Settings

Use this option if your NAS appliance is installed on a network that has a DHCP server and

you want to use your settings instead of the default settings. You can configure your settings

by using the Dell OpenManage™ Kick-Start utility. For more information, see "Using the

Kick-Start Utility to Configure Your NAS Appliance."

Configuring Your NAS Appliance Without DHCP on Your Network

Use this option if you do not have DHCP installed on your network. You can configure your

NAS appliance by using the Kick-Start utility or by using a serial connection.

Using the Kick-Start Utility to Configure Your NAS Appliance

The Kick-Start utility has an embedded DHCP server that allows you to auto-detect and

configure your network settings even if your network does not have a DHCP server. The

Kick-Start utility provides the following three different methods for configuring your

system:

1-4 Using Your Appliance for the First Time

www.dell.com | support.dell.com

• Remotely over an IP network — You can use a client system on the same network to

create your system configuration, and then configure your NAS appliance remotely.

• Using a diskette — You can use a client system to create your NAS appliance

configuration, and then create a diskette containing that configuration. Your NAS

appliance will be configured automatically when the diskette is inserted into the

diskette drive on your appliance.

• Locally using a keyboard, mouse, and monitor — If a keyboard, mouse, and monitor

are attached to your NAS appliance, you can configure the appliance using the local

Kick-Start utility on your appliance's hard drive.

For complete instructions for each of these three processes, see the "Introduction" section

of the System Administrator's Guide that came with the appliance.

A brief overview is provided in Table 1-1.

1-6 Using Your Appliance for the First Time

www.dell.com | support.dell.com

Using a Serial Connection

Use this method only if you want to access the NAS Manager without using DHCP or the

Kick-Start utility. Your NAS appliance is configured to provide an IP connection through

the serial port.

To configure your system using the serial port, you must connect a client system to serial

port 1 on the NAS appliance, configure the client system to allow the use of the

communications cable between two systems, and use the Web browser on the client system

to access the NAS Manager. Next, use the NAS Manager to configure your system and

network information.

For complete instructions about configuring your system with the serial connection, see the

"Introduction" section of the System Administrator's Guide that came with the appliance.

Phase Three: Using the NAS Appliance

At this point in the process, you should be able to begin using your NAS appliance with its

default configuration and begin configuring it for use in your specific environment. You

might need to add shares, perform system administration, and configure your storage.

Using the Default Share

To help you get up and running quickly, your NAS appliance provides a default share. You

can use this share immediately, and then create additional shares for specific purposes as

you need them. Because the share does not have any restricted permissions (by default), it is

open to all users of the system. The default share is configured to support both Windows®

(CIFS) and UNIX®(NFS). For both Windows and UNIX, the share name is Share, and it is

located at E:\Share. For information about managing your shares, see the "NAS Manager"

section in the System Administrator's Guide that came with the appliance.

Performing System Administration

To add users and groups, join a domain, add shares, or perform other administrative tasks,

connect to the NAS Manager. For detailed information, see the "Introduction" and "NAS

Manager" sections in the System Administrator’s Guide that came with the appliance.

Connect to the NAS appliance from your client system by entering the system name of the

NAS appliance in the Microsoft®Internet Explorer 5.0 or later (or for Red Hat Linux only,

use Netscape Navigator 6.1 or later) Web browser.

Using Your Appliance for the First Time 1-7

NOTE: Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 may be used only with Windows NT®4.0 with

Service Pack 4 or later. All other browsers are not supported.

To log on to the NAS Manager, you must enter the administrator user name and password.

The default administrator user name is administrator and the default password is

powervault. If you change the user name or password, use the changed information when

you log on. To change the user name and password, click Set Administrator Password in the

Welcome window.

The NAS Manager is served on port 1279 and is accessed by the URL,

https://<systemname | system_ipaddress>:1279, where systemname is the

DELL<service_tag>. Port 1279 uses secured socket layers (SSL) to encrypt data going to

and coming from the NAS appliance to provide some data security.

NOTICE: Although port 1278 can be used, it uses plain text authentication, which can

be a significant security risk. Therefore, using port 1278 is not recommended, except

for Macintosh clients.

NOTICE: Macintosh clients must connect to the appliance using port 1278, instead of

1279. Because port 1278 uses plain text authentication, using it can be a significant

security risk. To connect to the appliance, enter http://<systemname>:1278. (For

Macintosh clients, be sure to use http, not https, and 1278, not 1279.)

Performing Advanced Disk Management and Configuring External Storage

Your appliance’s internal hard drives are preconfigured with a RAID 1 volume for the

operating system and a RAID 5 volume for data storage. If you want to change the default

data volume format or configure external storage arrays, use the Disks tab on the NAS

Manager primary menu. For advanced storage system configuration, use the Dell

OpenManage Array Manager. For detailed information, see the "NAS Manager" and

"Advanced Disk and Volume Management Using Array Manager" sections in the System

Administrator's Guide that came with the appliance.
