Configuring Your System Using the Kick-Start Utility
The Kick-Start utility is software shipped with your system. This utility is used to define the initial network configuration of
a system, which makes the system available on the network for complete configuration using the NAS Manager. This
utility is intended for customers who have one or more systems to configure but do not want to use the default DHCP
assigned address and system name.
A NAS appliance requires configuration information before it can function.
You can supply configuration information by using the Remote Kick-Start utility (a browser-based Java applet) to save the
configuration information and send it to one or more systems across an IP network from another system on the same IP
subnet.
NOTE: The system you use to create configuration files must be running Windows 2000 and Microsoft Internet
Explorer 5.01.
NOTE: The Remote Kick-Start utility provides an integrated DHCP service that can supply a temporary IP address
to discovered NAS appliances that you add to your network before configuring them. If your network already
provides DHCP services, the Remote Kick-Start utility detects this and does not turn on the integrated DHCP
service.
NOTE: Ignore all references to using a diskette on the NAS appliance in the Kick-Start utility help files. Also, do not
use the Write Diskette button in the Remote Kick-Start utility. Using a diskette on the PowerVault 715N NAS
appliance is not supported.
Configuring NAS Appliances Remotely
You can remotely configure one or more NAS appliances, which provides information to the NAS appliance from another
system on the same network IP subnet.
