Server Account Creation

Administrator
Account

Connecting as the server administrator
gives you access to all shared folders on
the server. The administrator account's
user name is always Administrator.

The server administrator account is created the first
time you install the client software on a PC. You
enter a password during the installation. See

Installing Software on the First PC

.

• If you created a User Account on the server, create a matching User Account on the Mac (if it does

not already exist). The Mac user account should have the same user name and password as the
server user account.
On the Mac computer, choose Apple menu > System Preferences > Accounts. On the Accounts

dialog, verify the dialog features are unlocked

and click "+" to add a user account. Complete

the information on the Accounts dialog.

Connection Method A: Using the Finder

Connecting to the HP MediaSmart Server using the Finder is quick and easy. The Finder can also
remember your server logon settings so subsequent connections are effortless.

1. At the Mac computer, choose File > New Finder Window.

2. Click hpstorage in the Shared category of the left Sidebar. If you renamed the HP MediaSmart

Server during the first installation, select that name in the Shared category.
