Appliance Installation
The QSG provides a system administrator with concise instructions for a Celestix
appliance base deployment. It covers common installation requirements and is not
intended to be comprehensive. Your installation may require additional configuration.
Installation instructions first cover assumptions the guide takes into account for a
common deployment. Assumptions are followed by the network information
worksheet. The worksheet helps you to gather necessary information that will help in
the installation process. Preparation steps are followed by instructions to rack,
connect to the network, and power your appliance.
Installation Assumptions
The following sections provide information about necessary skills/knowledge
administrators should have and the assumptions that cover appliance installation for
a majority of network settings. These assumptions address general deployment
scenarios. Your environment may require adjustments or advanced configuration.
Skills and Knowledge
System administrators should be familiar with:
 Windows server management
 Microsoft’s Active Directory
 Networking technology
Network Settings
The following general conditions apply to the instructions contained in this QSG.
Again, your network settings may differ and could require some adjustment to the
general information presented herein.
 Your LAN is configured for DHCP. You will use DHCP initially to assign an IP
address to the LAN network adapter. You can find the assigned IP address on
the front panel display.
 The appliance will be deployed in a Microsoft domain.
