5. In the drop-down list on the Shared Volume window, select a shared volume, then click OK.
6. In the SMB/CIFS File System Authentication window, do one of the following:

If the shared folder is password protected, enter the appropriate password, then click OK.

If the shared folder is not password protected, click OK.
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for each shared folder.
To access the HP Media Vault's configuration screens
1. Open a web browser, such as Safari or Firefox.
2. In the Location box, enter the IP address or name of the media vault.
3. IP address example: http://192.168.1.101
4. Name example: http://hpmediavault

under DHCP Client Table or Show Connected Devices.
Depending on the media vault settings, the web browser displays either The Welcome Page or the Shared
Folders tab.
