Storage Server 2003 R2 x64 Edition with SP2 operating system and information
about configuring, localizing, and installing your Dell™ Network Attached
Storage (NAS) system on a corporate network.
The following topics are covered in this document:
• Overview
• Naming Convention
• Configuring your NAS system
• Localizing your system using the Multilanguage User Interface (MUI)
• Starting the Windows Storage Server Management Console
• Accessing the Microsoft Management Console (MMC)

Overview
The Windows Storage Server 2003 R2 x64 Edition with SP2 operating system
adds new search capabilities, simplified setup and storage management,
extensibility, and is specially tuned to provide optimal NAS performance.
Windows Storage Server 2003 R2 x64 Edition with SP2 provides significant
enhancements in storage management scenarios, and ease of installation.
Your NAS system is preconfigured with the Windows
Storage Server 2003 R2
x64 Edition with SP2 operating system. Most of the setup procedures are
completed for you and do not require user intervention.
When your system boots for the first time, the
Microsoft Mini Setup process
begins. When completed, your system automatically reboots and you can access
the server either locally or remotely.
NOTE: If your system is pre-configured with software redundant array of
independent disks (RAID) 5, the system performs a RAID synchronization to optimize
the array. The process runs in the background and may affect your overall system
performance until it completes. If the system is powered off before the process
completes, RAID synchronization will begin again when the system is powered up
and continue until it completes.

Getting Started Guide 7
Configuring Your NAS System
Configuring Your System Using a Keyboard, Monitor, and Mouse
NOTE: Depending on your method of configuration, local keyboard, video, and
mouse (KVM) connections may be required to complete the installation and
configuration procedures. If your remote system can complete the configuration
procedures, local KVM connections are not required for operation.
1 Connect a keyboard, monitor, and mouse to the NAS system.
For information about system connectors, see your system’s
User’s Guide .
2 Turn on the NAS system.
3 Log in to the NAS system.
NOTE: The default administrator user name is administrator
and the default password is storageserver
.
Configuring Your System For Network Access
1 If your NAS system is powered on, turn it off.
2 Connect one end of an Ethernet cable into one of the 10/100/1000 RJ-45
NIC connectors (see Figure 1-2) on the back of your NAS system.
For more information about the location of system connectors, see your
NAS system’s
User’s Guide .
3 Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to a functioning Ethernet jack.
4 Turn on the NAS system.
5 Verify that the server is connected to the Ethernet by ensuring that the
LED associated with the network interface controller (NIC) connector
is on. See Figure 1-2. If the NIC connector’s LED is a steady green color,
then the connection is good. If the NIC connector’s LED is a flashing
amber color, then data is successfully being transferred.
If the LED is not on, ensure that each end of the Ethernet cable is seated
properly in the NIC connector and the Ethernet jack.
The NAS system retrieves the required information to set up network
parameters (the IP address, gateway subnet mask, and DNS server address)
from a
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol ( DHCP) server on the network.
NOTE: Depending on your configuration and the amount of storage attached
to the NAS system, it may take several minutes for the NAS system to boot.

8Getting Started Guide
Figure 1-2. NIC Connector
Configuring the Network IP Address for the NAS System
If you have a DHCP server on your network, you are not required to configure
your NAS system’s IP address because DHCP automatically assigns an address
to the NAS system. If your network is not configured with a DHCP server,
configure the NAS system’s IP address through the
Network Configuration
window.
To access the
Network Configuration window, click Start → Settings → Control
Panel
→ Network Configuration .
NOTE: If you do not have a DHCP server on your network, a local keyboard,
monitor, and a mouse is required to complete your NAS configuration. For more
information, see "Configuring Your System Using a Keyboard, Monitor, and Mouse"
on page 7.
NOTE: The Windows Firewall is enabled by default. When you access the remote
system, you may experience issues with connectivity.

Getting Started Guide 9
Entering the Default Administrator User Name and Password

administrator user name and password. The default administrator user name
for your NAS system is
administrator and the default password is
storageserver.
Changing the Administrator Password
1 Click Start → Administrative Tools → Computer Management .
2 In the Computer Management window, expand Local Users and Groups
and select
Users .
3 In the right window pane, right-click Administrator and select
Set Password .
4 In the Set Password for Administrator window, click Proceed .
5 Enter and confirm your password in the appropriate fields and click OK .
6 Close the Computer Management window.
Localizing Your System Using the Multilanguage
User Interface
The NAS system allows you to change the native language for the operating
system's user interface. Many languages are installed on your system by default.
The Multilanguage User Interface (MUI) allows the NAS system to display
operating systems menus, dialogs, and help files in multiple languages.
If your system was pre-configured with the Windows Storage Server 2003 R2
x64 Edition with SP2 operating system, the MUI is pre-configured with your
localized language in both the regional settings and in the browser settings.
No user intervention is required.
To change the default browser language:
1 Open an Internet Explorer
®
browser.
2 In the Tools menu, select Internet Options .
3 In the General tab, click Languages .
4 In the Language Preference window, click Add .
5 In the Language box, select a language.
6 Click OK .

10 Getting Started Guide
Starting the Windows Storage Server
Management Console
The Windows Storage Server Management Console appears in the MMC,
providing an easy and convenient method for system administration. The MMC
opens automatically when you are logged into the Windows Storage Server 2003
R2 x64 Edition with SP2 operating system.
To open the
Windows Storage Server Management Console , click Start →
All Programs → Windows Storage Server Management .
In the
Microsoft Management Console window, the left window pane shows
the
File Server Management (Local) node as the default node. The center
window pane provides selectable scenarios that assist you with operating system
administration.
Accessing the Microsoft Management Console
The MMC is configured by default as part of the Microsoft Start menu. The
MMC can be used for disk management, NFS configuration, and as a general
NAS management station. For more information, see the Microsoft MMC
document included with your system.
Using MMC, you can configure your storage by either accessing MMC locally
on the host or by accessing MMC using a Remote Desktop Connection.

the overhead associated with remote administration. Enabled by Terminal
Services technology, Remote Desktop for Administration is specifically designed
for server management.
Remote Desktop for Administration does not require a special license for client
systems that access the server. Additionally, you are not required to install
Terminal Server Licensing when using Remote Desktop for Administration.
Administrators can also fully administer computers running Windows Storage
Server 2003 R2 x64 Edition with SP2 from systems running earlier versions of
Windows by installing Remote Desktop Connection.
NOTE: To connect to Remote Desktop for Administration from a remote system,
use Remote Desktop Connection.

To update individual OpenManage Server Administrator components, use
component-specific Dell Update Packages (DUP), which may be found on the
Dell Updates media. The SUU compares the versions of components currently
installed on your Dell NAS system with update components that are packaged
on the Dell Updates media. Use the SUU to view a comparison report of the
versions and to update an entire system.
