Configure the storage system
When logging in for the first time on X1000 systems, the HP Initial Configuration Wizard opens. This
wizard provides an optional method for completing the minimum required setup of the storage system.
After completing the wizard steps, the system will be ready for file sharing on your network with the
first shared folder created and accessible by client computers. To dismiss the Initial Configuration
Wizard and instead use other tools to configure your storage system, select No thanks. I will configure
the system using other methods and then click Finish.
The HP Configuration Assistant is available on all HP X1000 and X3000 Network Storage Systems.
Use the HP Configuration Assistant to set up your system with basic configuration information.
