configured with many generic settings, you must now configure some of the Windows,
system and iTX software settings. The following sections provide information and
instructions for configuring the operating system’s and iTX software’s settings for your
particular environment and workflow. An additional section informs you of a pre-installed
software for managing the appliance’s RAID arrays.
