System information

Configuring an Xserve RAID System 11
Click the “Synchronize Xserve RAID time” box to set the time to that of your computer (the
one on which you are using RAID Admin). (The system is preset at the factory.)
You can change the password for management or monitoring access using the appropriate
Change button. When setting up the system, you may want to change both passwords. Be
sure to write them down and make them available to anyone else who is authorized to make
changes (management) or monitor system status (monitoring).
The option for audible alerts is turned on by default.
Network Address
You use the Network tab of the Settings window to set the IP address for each RAID
controller in the system.
m If you have one or two fixed IP addresses, choose Manually from the Configure pop-up
menu and type the address, subnet mask, and router information.
m If you don’t have a fixed IP address, choose Using DHCP from the Configure pop-up
menu. (DHCP is the default setting for the system.)
For specific information about the IP address and other network details for your system,
check with the network administrator at your location.
Important
Only one person at a time can manage a particular system. Each time you want
to do a management task, you must enter the management password.
