About This Guide
This guide shows you how to quickly install and connect your Snap Server to the network. Prior to the installation,
gather all the hardware components required for your system:
1 Check the contents of your shipment package for all the items shown in Hardware Features.
• If installing a Snap Server 4500 with a Snap Disk 10, also check the contents of your Snap Disk 10
packaging.
• If installing a Snap Server 15000, also check the contents of your Snap Disk 30SA packaging.
2 Gather any optional components needed to complete your system as described next in Optional Hardware
Components.
Optional Hardware Components
Depending on your chosen conguration, you may need to acquire one or more of the following components
prior to proceeding with the installation. Snap Appliance recommends an APC-Brand UPS device for protection
against power uctuations, and a SCSI tape backup device for regular backups to protect your data. You can
learn how to purchase any of these components from your authorized Snap Appliance reseller or from the Where
to Buy section of the Snap Appliance Web site (http:// www.snapappliance.com).
Component Description
Serial ATA Card (4500 only) You must install a Serial ATA card on each Snap Server 4500
whose capacity you want to expand by connecting with Snap
Disk 10 expansion array.
The Serial ATA card has two ports, allowing you to attach up to
two expansion arrays. The card is available from an authorized
Snap Appliance reseller.
Tape Backup Device(s) and Cables To attach a tape device via a SCSI connection to the Snap Server,
you need a 68-pin Ultra160-LVD cable. For a list of compatible
backup solutions, see the Backup section in the Support section of
the Snap Appliance Web site.
Tip Depending on your server hardware conguration, you
may need to purchase and install a SCSI card, available from an
authorized Snap Appliance reseller.
APC-brand UPS device Snap Servers are designed to work with a network-based, APC-
brand UPS. Visit the APC Web site for a listing of optimal APC
models for use with your Snap Server.
Rack Snap Servers are designed for use with EIA-compliant racks. You
can use either a two-post telco-style rack or a four-post rack.
Non-compliant racks may not be able to support the server
using only the front posts. If you are using a non-EIA rack, Snap
Appliance recommends that you secure the server using slide
rails, available from an authorized Snap Appliance reseller.
Labels Many of the hardware installation procedures in this guide
recommend labeling the hardware for easy reference.

Installing the Server in a Rack
The Snap Server ships with two L-shaped rack mount brackets. You can attach them in one of two ways: (1) to the
front of the server for mounting to the front posts of a four-post rack; or, (2) to the middle or front of the server for
mounting to both posts of a Telco rack.
Caution The following procedure applies to standard EIA racks; other racks may not be able to support the
server using only the front posts. If you are using a non-EIA rack, Snap Appliance recommends that you secure
the server using slide rails, available from Snap Appliance or a Snap Appliance reseller.
1 Make sure you have the following items necessary for rack installation:
• Two (left and right) front rack
mounting brackets
• Six rack ear screws to attach the
brackets to the server
• Four rack mounting screws to
attach the brackets to the rack
posts
• One Phillips screwdriver
2 If mounting the L-shaped brackets to the
front of the server (as shown in the illustration),
use the six screws provided. (If mounting to the middle
of the server (not shown) for installation into a Telco rack, only four
screws are used.)
3 Insert the server into the rack and attach the server to the posts using the remaining four screws. You may need
a second person to support the server while tightening the mounting screws.
Tip For slide rail installation instructions, see the documentation on the CD that comes with the slide rail
installation hardware kit.

Connecting the Server to the Network
The server has Dual-Gigabit Ethernet ports that can connect to 10BaseT, 100BaseTx, or 1000BaseT networks. A
dual-port conguration offers added advantages, such as load balancing and failover. You may connect one or
both of the ports.
• If you connect only one port, you must use the primary port marked ‘1’ on the back of the server as shown in
the Hardware Features Illustration.
• To take advantage of network bonding (load balancing or failover), both ports must be physically connected to
the network; and (a) for load balancing, connected to the same switch on the same subnet; or (b) for failover,
connected to different switches on the same subnet (in case one switch fails).
Caution The speed/duplex setting on Snap Servers defaults to autonegotiate. The networking switch or hub
to which the server is connected must also be congured to autonegotiate; otherwise, network throughput or
connectivity to the server may be seriously impacted.
Cabling the Server to the Network
Use the provided Ethernet cables to connect the server to the network. When you connect the network cables to
active ports, the network lights on the bezel (LAN 1 and LAN 2) are green.
Connecting the Power Cord
As a data security measure, Snap Appliance strongly recommends you connect the Snap Server to the power
source via a UPS. Use the provided power cord to connect the server to plug the server into a UPS or properly
grounded electrical outlet.
Tip Snap Servers are designed to work with APC-brand, network-based UPS devices. You must congure the
APC unit both in the Snap Server ’s Administration Tool and in the APC user interface.
Powering On the Snap Server
To turn on the server, press the power button on the front of the server. The server
takes a few minutes to initialize. A green LED indicates that the system is on.
Tip If connecting a Snap Disk 10 or Snap Disk 30SA expansion array, use the
array’s quick start guide to install and connect the array before powering on the
Snap Server.

Connecting to the Snap Server for the First Time
Snap Servers are preset to acquire an IP address from a DHCP server. If no DHCP server is found on the network,
the Snap Server defaults to an IP address of 10.10.10.10, and you may not be able to see the server on your
network. You can discover a Snap Server using either the default server name or the Snap Server Manager (SSM)
utility. Use the server name method if you are installing one Snap Server on the network. Use SSM if you are
installing two or more Snap Servers, or if your network does not have a DHCP server.
To Connect to a Snap Server Using the Server Name
This procedure requires that name resolution services (via WINS or an equivalent service) be operational.
1 Find the server name.
The default server name is SNAPnnnnnn, where nnnnnn is the server number. For example, the name of a
Snap Server with a server number of 610019 is SNAP610019. The server number is a unique, numerics-only
string that appears on a label afxed to the inside of your Snap Server. To view the label, remove the front
bezel.
2 In a Web browser, enter the following URL:
http://SNAPnnnnnn (where nnnnnn is the server number)
3 Press Enter. The Web View screen opens.
4 Log into the Administration Tool and complete the Initial Setup Wizard.
Click the administration link, and in the login dialog box, enter admin as the user name and admin as the
password, and then click OK. Complete the setup procedure using the Initial Setup Wizard.
To Connect to a Snap Server Using Snap Server Manager
Snap Server Manager (SSM) is a Java-based, platform-independent, multiserver administrative application
that runs on all major platforms. Administrators can discover, congure, and monitor all local and remote
GuardianOS Snap Servers from the SSM interface. You can download and install Snap Server Manager using the
Install.html le found on your Snap Server User CD. Be sure to install SSM on a computer residing on the same
network segment as your Snap Server(s).
1 Launch SSM.
SSM discovers all Snap Servers on its local network segment and displays their server names, IP addresses,
and other status information in the main console.
Tip To distinguish multiple Snap Servers you may
need to nd their default server names as explained
in the previous procedure.
2 Launch a Server’s Administration Tool.
In the Snap Server Manager console, right-click a
server name and select Launch Web Administration,
as shown in the illustration.
3 Log into the Administration Tool and complete the
Initial Setup Wizard.
Click the administration link, and in the login dialog
box, enter admin as the user name and admin as the
password, and then click OK. The rst screen of the
Initial Setup Wizard opens.
