Dell PowerVault 715N (Rackmount NAS Appliance) - Manual (Page 7)

Language — You can change the default system language and locale by selecting a language in the drop-
down list. This field is required.
NOTE: This change does not install the Multilanguage User Interface (MUI). To install the MUI or other
languages besides those that are listed in the Kick-Start menu, use the Multilingual Support CD.
Ethernet Port 0 — This port is the built-in Ethernet port on your system closest to the outside edge of the
system. You can optionally enter the IP address information for this port. Enter the IP address, subnet mask,
and the default gateway IP address. The Kick-Start utility ensures that you have entered all portions of an IP
address and checks for a valid IP subnet mask. (Optional field — if you do not complete this field, the system
uses DHCP to obtain an IP address.)
Ethernet Port 1 — This port is the built-in Ethernet port on your system closest to the middle of the
system. You can optionally enter the IP address information for this port. Enter the IP address and subnet
mask. The gateway IP address is optional. The Kick-Start utility ensures that you have entered all portions of
an IP address and checks for a valid IP subnet mask. (Optional field — if you do not fill in this field, the
system uses DHCP to obtain an IP address.)
NOTE: The Kick-Start utility Ethernet 0 matches Windows Local Area Connection, and Ethernet 1 matches
Local Area Connection 2.
DNS IP Addresses — You can optionally enter one or two DNS IP addresses. The Kick-Start utility ensures
that you have entered all portions of an IP address.
Host/Machine Name and Domain — The host/machine name is required. It is composed of a base host
name and a DNS Domain name. Domain indicates a DNS domain (for example, dell.com) and does not
indicate a Windows domain. The domain name is optional.
Administrator Password — This field is required. You must enter the administrator password twice, and it
must be at least six characters long. For security purposes, the password does not appear on the screen, but
each character of the password displays as an asterisk (*) placeholder.
User Name and Password — You can optionally enter a user login name and password (enter the password
twice). For security purposes, the password cannot be seen on the screen, but each character of the
password displays as an asterisk (*). Passwords of less than six characters are not accepted.
5. Click Save when you finish.
6. Repeat this process to create and save another configuration if you want to configure more than one NAS
appliance. Click the + or – buttons to increment or decrement the series number at the right of the configuration
name to create an ordered set that use the same name.
You are ready to apply the configuration to the NAS appliance using an IP network connection.
Configuring NAS Appliances Over an IP Network
If you are configuring multiple NAS appliances on the same IP subnet as the system you use to run the Remote Kick-Start
utility, this is probably the fastest configuration method. After starting the Remote Kick-Start utility and creating
configurations, perform the following steps.
NOTE: If you are configuring the NAS appliance after performing the reinstallation procedure, you must wait
for the RAID 5 regeneration process to complete before the NAS appliance is displayed in the Discovered
Dell Systems List. You can determine the current status of the NAS appliance through the NAS Manager
using the Disks—> Volume option. This process can take several hours, depending on your system's
configuration.
1. Select the NAS appliance you want to configure from the Discovered Dell Systems List. If it does not appear,
scroll down and click the Integrated DHCP Server check box, and then wait a few seconds for the system to be
assigned a temporary IP address and discovered by the Remote Kick-Start utility.
NOTE: You must configure the DHCP scope before using the embedded DHCP server. See "Using the
Integrated DHCP Server" in the Kick-Start utility online help for more information about configuring the DHCP
scope.
2. Select an existing configuration file from the list.
