- Six I/E station slots

- Zero cleaning cartridge slots

- The archive creates a single partition and assigns available archive

resources proportionately.

Note: The operator panel Setup Wizard only appears once, the first time

you turn the archive on. You cannot log on to the web client until

you configure the network settings on the operator panel. If you

exit the operator panel Setup Wizard before configuring network

settings, you must configure the network settings on the operator

panel (Setup > Network Mgmt) before logging on to the web client.

Install the Archive 9

When you first power on the archive, the operator panel displays the Setup

Wizard. The Setup Wizard helps you to configure network settings, set the

date and time, create user accounts, configure I/E slots, and perform other

tasks that allow you to begin using the archive. You should start using the

Setup Wizard on the operator panel. After performing initial configuration

from the local operator panel, you can then continue to use the Setup

Wizard on the web client.

The recommended procedure for using the Setup Wizard for the initial

configuration is as follows:

aThe Setup Wizard prompts you to enter the network settings that allow

the web client to access the archive.

Be sure to complete this step

single partition, which is the default configuration for the StorNext

AEL500 Mini Archive.

The final Setup Wizard screen will prompt you to apply your settings.

When you have completed the Setup Wizard, the Library Configuration

report appears on the web client. The Library Configuration report provides

information on the archive’s tape drives, partitions, I/E stations, storage

slots, cleaning slots, and loaded media.
