The default administrative user name is administrator and the default password is powervault. For

domain, enter the NAS system's name. The default system name is DELLxxxxxxx, where xxxxxxx is the

system's service tag number. For example, if your service tag number is 1234567, type DELL1234567. You

can find the service tag number on the top cover of your NAS system.
