Attach the Bezel
1. Insert the bezel tabs into the flange
holes.
2. Push the other side in until it latches
(clicks).
3. If desired, lock the bezel.
Step 4 - Cabling
All cabling, power connections, and cooling are located on the rear panel.
1. For a basic network connection, plug a Category 5e (or better) cable into Data
Port 1 and a Gigabit Ethernet switch on the same LAN segment as the
management system.
See the user guide for information on the optional ports.
2. Attach the power cords to the AC Power sockets on back panel.
3. Plug the power cords into a UPS or AC power source.
Step 5 - Set Up
NOTE: You must leave the appliance ON while completing any configuration processes for
your application.
1. Press and hold the Power switch on the left flange no more than
one (1) second to power on the S2000.
2. Verify that both an iSCSI Initiator and the .NET (dot NET)
framework is installed on each Windows host.
3. Install the Windows SnapSAN Manager Suite software on a host
computer attached to the same subnetwork.
Download the file from the Overland web site:
4. Launch the Windows SnapSAN Manager on the host by selecting Windows
Start > All Programs > SnapSAN > SnapSAN Manager.
Automatically, the program attempts to discover and connect to any new S2000
appliances connected to the subnetwork.

c. At the Identity page, if you want to rename the appliance, enter a new name,
and click Next.
NOTE: We highly recommend changing the name to help identify the appliance on the
network. The name must start with a letter; subsequent characters may be letters,
numbers or hyphens. Shorter names work best.
d. At the Password page, you must enter a password for the appliance, confirm
it, and click Next.
IMPORTANT: Overland recommends using a password of at least six
alphanumeric characters.
e. At the Pool Creation page, select the type of policy you want, and click Next.
See the user guide for complete details.
NOTE: If you want to create multiple pools or to create a pool using only selected disks in
the enclosure, select Don’t Create Pool. Later, use Windows SnapSAN Manager to create
the desired pools.
f. At the Summary page, click Close to accept your settings.
When the wizard finishes, the Windows SnapSAN Manager Home screen is
displayed.
At this point, your S2000 is ready to be configured for your specific environment and
needs:
• The Windows SnapSAN Manager software provides easy access to the Overland
storage systems on the network.
• You can also use the Web Management Interface to configure a specific appliance,
even from a non-Windows operating system. Launch your web browser and use
the following default login (case-sensitive):
User Name: admin
Password: password
Refer to the SnapSAN S2000 User Guide for further details.
Step 6 - More Information
Special Notes
• The alarm mute and disable buttons can be found in different places:
• In the Windows SnapSAN Manager, they are found in the tasks list under
Manage SnapSAN Pool.
• In the Web Management Interface, they are found by clicking the
subsystem name (link) under Pools.
• To help identify a disk drive that is currently allocated as a Hot Spare, the red
LED blinks on the front of its drive carrier. This blinking action also denotes that
the Hot Spare is active and healthy.

initiator.
• Replication and Mirroring are optional features that require additional licenses
to activate.
