Planning a network configuration
You use the Rapid Startup Wizard to configure your storage server. This wizard is displayed automatically
when you first start your system. Before you run the Rapid Startup Wizard, it is helpful to gather the
network configuration information you need, including:
• User name and administrator password (the system provides you with defaults you need to change)
• E-mail addresses to set up system alerts
• SNMP settings
• Local area network (LAN) configuration settings
To help you gather this information, see “ Configuring the server on the network ” on page 27.
