Network With a DHCP Server

If your network has a dynamic host control protocol (DHCP) server and you have a Windows 2000 client on the same network, use the procedure in this
section to reinstall your NAS system's operating system.

If your network has a DHCP server, you need the following to reinstall the operating system:

l

Windows 2000 (Professional or Server Family) client system on the same subnet as the NAS system.

l

Resource CD included with your NAS system.

l

Reinstallation CD included with your NAS system.

l

Existing DHCP service in the LAN.

To reinstall your NAS operating system, perform the following steps:

1.

 

Shut down the NAS system, and do not turn it back on until instructed.

See "

Shutting Down the NAS System

" in "NAS Manager."

2.

 

Connect a keyboard, monitor, and mouse to the NAS system.

For information about system connectors, see your User's Guide.

NOTE:

If you run the Kick-Start utility in a non-DHCP environment, the you must enter a gateway IP address.

NOTE:

During the reinstallation, do not attempt to connect to your NAS system.

NOTE:
