Google Search Appliance: Installing the Google Search Appliance 8
The first time you start a Google Search Appliance, you may see an error message saying
The battery has recovered, but cached data was lost.
Press any key to continue or 'C' to load the configuration utility.
The error message indicates that the power has drained from a rechargeable battery for the RAID
controller. The Google Search Appliance has not lost data and will function normally. The battery
recharges in the 24 hours after the Google Search Appliance is powered up. So allow GSA to run for a
few more hours, and then press any key to continue the boot.
Configuring the Network Settings
This section provides instructions for configuring the search appliance software so that the Google
Search Appliance can connect to your network and communicate with the other computers located on
the network. To configure the search appliance, you need the values described in the preinstallation
checklists that are in Planning for Search Appliance Installation.
When you perform these steps, you run the Network and System Settings wizard from the computer
that you connected to the search appliance. If the web browser on the computer uses a proxy to
connect to the Internet, disable the proxy, which prevents access to the search appliance.
You can use these instructions after you initially configure the search appliance to change the search
appliance’s network settings. When you change any network settings, only those settings are affected.
The index is not reset or otherwise affected by the changes. You do not need to have the search
appliance recrawl the content after changing the network settings.
To configure the search appliance software:
1. On the computer that is connected to the search appliance, start a web browser.
Use a version of Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, or Firefox that is supported for the software
version running on your search appliance.
2. In the browser address bar, enter the following URL:
http://192.168.255.1:1111/
The Network and System Settings wizard starts. It may take a few minutes before the wizard
appears.
3. If the Network and System Settings wizard does not start, check the browser proxy settings. If the
browser is using a proxy, disable the proxy, wait two minutes, and enter http://
192.168.255.1:1111/ in the browser address bar again.
When the wizard starts, the first page you see is the End User License Agreement page.
4. Select your country from the drop-down list.
The End User License Agreement is displayed, in the language corresponding to the country you
chose.
5. Read the agreement and optionally make a copy of it.
Google recommends that you copy the license agreement. After you accept the agreement and
complete the installation, you cannot view the license agreement.
