Step 2: Install 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, Overland Storage recommends that you secure
the server using slide rails, available from Overland Storage or a Snap Server 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.
Note For slide rail installation instructions, see the documentation on the CD that comes with the slide rail
installation hardware kit.

Step 3: Connect Power and Network Cables
The server has Dual-Gigabit Ethernet ports that can connect to 10BaseT, 100BaseTx, or 1000BaseT networks. A
dual-port configuration 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 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 configured 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 integrity measure,
Overland Storage strongly
recommends you connect
the server to a UPS. Use the
provided power cord to plug the
module into the UPS or properly
grounded electrical outlet.
Note Snap Servers are designed
to work with APC-brand, USB- or network-based UPS devices to automatically shut down cleanly in the event of
an extended power failure. You must configure the APC unit both in the Snap Server’s Administration Tool and in
the APC user interface.
Step 4: Power 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.
The status LED will blink once per second when the server is
powered on.

Step 5: Connect 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 a Snap Server on a network with a DHCP server. Use SSM
if your network does not have a DHCP server or if your network does not have name resolution services.
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 affixed to the top of the server in the left front corner.
2 In a Web browser, enter the following URL:
http://SNAPnnnnnn (where SNAPnnnnnn is the server name)
3 Press Enter. The Web View screen opens.
4 Log into the Administration Tool and complete the Initial Setup Wizard.
Click the Administration link. In the login dialog box, enter admin as the user name and admin as the
password, 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, multiserver administrative application that runs on all major
client platforms. Use SSM to discover, configure, and monitor all local and remote GuardianOS Snap Servers.
You can download and install SSM using the Install_SnapServerTools.html file 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. If you do not have a DHCP server, there might be a delay
before the server appears on the network.
Note: To distinguish multiple Snap Servers, you may
need to find their default server names as explained
in the previous procedure.
2 If using a DHCP server, proceed to Step 3.
Otherwise, assign an IP address to the server.
In SSM, right-click the server name and select Set
IP Address. Enter an IP address and a subnet mask,
then click OK.
3 Launch a server’s Administration Tool.
In SSM, right-click a server name and select Launch
Web Administration, as shown in the illustration.
4 Log into the Administration Tool and complete the Initial Setup Wizard.
Click the administration link. In the login dialog box, enter admin as the user name and admin as the
password, then click OK. Complete the setup procedure using the Initial Setup Wizard.
