This section provides information that is essential for ensuring that your

ROWSERS
The following browsers are supported for accessing the BlueScale web
interface for the nTier700:
 Microsoft’s Internet Explorer versions 6.0 and above
 Mozilla Firefox versions 2.0 and later
The first time you attempt to access the nTier BlueScale web interface, a
warning about the website’s security certificate displays. Before you can
connect, you must address this warning. If you are using Mozilla Firefox,
the method you use to address this warning depends on the version of
Firefox. See the Spectra nTier700 Backup and Archive Appliance User Guide for
detailed instructions.
IP A
DDRESSING
The nTier700 requires a valid IP address for Ethernet port 1 before you can
connect to the BlueScale web interface for the first time. By default, the
nTier700 uses DHCP to obtain an IP address. When installing an nTier700,
make sure that it can access a properly configured DHCP/DNS server.
If a DHCP/DNS server is unavailable, use the operator panel on any blade
to configure Ethernet port 1 to use static (fixed) addressing with a known
good IP address on an available network. Refer to the Spectra nTier700
Backup and Archive Appliance User Guide for instructions.
Important
Do not use the Enter key on your keyboard when making selections or entering
information in any of the text fields in the BlueScale web interface. Various web
browsers handle the Enter key differently, causing inconsistent behavior in the
BlueScale web interface.
Always use your mouse to make selections and click the buttons in BlueScale
screens instead of using your keyboard.
