To log in to the NAS Manager and run the BIOS Update Utility, perform the following steps:

1. Open a Web browser.

The NAS Manager is compatible with clients running Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 or later (or for Red Hat Linux

only, Netscape Navigator 6.1 or later).

2. Type in the name of the NAS system in the URL box, and then press <Enter>.

The default system name is Dellxxxxxxx, where xxxxxxx is the system's service tag number. For example, if your

service tag number is 1234567, enter DELL1234567. You can find the service tag number on the top cover of your

NAS system.

The NAS Manager is served on port 1279 and is accessed by the URL https://system_name:1279, where

system_name is DELLservice_tag. For example, if your service tag number is 1234567, you would enter
https://DELL1234567:1279

. Port 1279 uses secured socket layers (SSL) to encrypt data going to and coming from

the NAS system to provide data security.

NOTICE:

Although port 1278 can be used, it uses plain text authentication, which can be a significant

security risk. Therefore, using port 1278 is not recommended.

3. When the Enter Network Password window displays, type a user name and password and then click OK to log in

as the administrator.

NOTE:

The NAS Manager default administrator user name is administrator and the default password is

powervault

.

4. Click the Administer This Server Appliance link.

5. When the Enter Network Password window appears again, enter the same user name and password that you

entered in step 2, and then click OK.

You are now logged in to the NAS Manager.

6. On the NAS Manager primary menu, click Maintenance.

7. Click Terminal Services.

8. Log in to the Terminal Services session as administrator.

9. If the Advanced Administration Menu is open, click Exit, and then OK to close it.

10. Open the Windows Explorer, and expand the directory C:\ Dell\BIOS Update Utility.

11. Double-click the WinSFI.exe file.

This is the BIOS Update Utility.
